Looping<BR>>>>><BR>>>>> You can loop an item in Reaper
by first making sure the item is exactly<BR>>>>> an even length,
like 1, 2 or 4 measures, the most common loop
lengths;<BR>>>>> because if it is a fractional length; like
2.0.1 it will drift out of<BR>>>>> sync with the rest of the
music as it loops.<BR>>>>> Okay, say you have a 2 measure item to
loop, select the item with<BR>>>>> shift+A or ctrl+right
arrow.<BR>>>>> Then go to Item Properties; select to display the
item length in beats.<BR>>>>> Then multiply the item's length by a
multiple; which will cause the<BR>>>>> item<BR>>>>> to
loop that many times.<BR>>>>> For instance, if the selected item
is 2 measures in length, multiply<BR>>>>> its<BR>>>>>
length shown in the length field by 10 and the item will loop 10
times.<BR>>>>> You simply enter a new item length in the length
field; then tab down<BR>>>>> to<BR>>>>> OK or whatever
the confirmation is; hit enter.<BR>>>>> It will occupy the new
length on the time line, with the original 2<BR>>>>> measure item
repeated 10 times.<BR>>>>> Turn ctrl+R off, you don't need it to
loop the item now.<BR>>>>> The standard method to loop an item for
sighted users is to grab the<BR>>>>> right end of the selected
item with the mouse and stretch its length<BR>>>>> out; like
stretching a rubber band; to the desired amount.<BR>>>>>
This item length multiplication method in Item Properties does
exactly<BR>>>>> the same thing.<BR>>>>>
