Welcome to the forum and the ACID community.

Many people don’t realize that you can have multiple instances of ACID open at the same time and can cut and paste between them. Here’s how:

1. Open ACID and load the first song
2. Use the Selection Tool to select the area you want to copy (it’s just to the right of the pencil icon)
3. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection to the clipboard
4. Now open another copy of ACID and load the song you want to paste to
5. Place the cursor at the location you want the paste to happen and press Ctrl+V.

This should paste the loop selection from the first song into the second song.
