Subject:Loop playing longer? Posted by: Fritzo Date:2/20/2003 4:20:38 AM I want to edit a loop in a way that it plays a certain piece if it longer. How can I do that?
Subject:RE: Loop playing longer? Reply by: DKeenum Date:2/20/2003 8:17:33 AM You are going to have to cut the loop into pieces, then stretch the part you want stretched. You can use the chopper, Sound Forge, or zoom-in and do it in a track.

Reply by: Iacobus Date:2/20/2003 2:32:07 PM Try also duplicating the track, and then under the Stretch tab of the track's properties, double the number of beats to halve the tempo; halve the number of beats to double the tempo. (This may produce artifacts, especially if the tempo is halved.) You may also use what David suggested (which actually would be preferable as you'll have more control). Be careful not to modify your original. Duplicate the track and save it under a new name (via the track's properties) if you have to. HTH, Iacobus
