Default Re: Tips on looping part of a song?

Hey John... use "Tab to Transients" to select the "Earliest Transient" in your multi Track selection, both for your "In Separation" and your "Out Seperation".

Then, when you've selected the perfect loop point (You can make your selection and audition how it's going to sound, by puting Pro-Tools transport in Loop Playback)

And if it's really good, accept for a "Little pop" you're ok

- Stop Playback
- Make your selection
- Cmd+D (To duplicate the loop the number of times you want it to appear in the time line)

**TIP**
If you want the rest of the song to be "Pushed back in the timelie AFTEr the loop, do the Cmd+D in "Shuffle Mode

- Highlight the entire track (Cmd+A)
- Cmd+F to open Fade dialog
- Set the Fade dialog, to create a 5ms Fade at every edit (This will get rid of the loop "pop's")

Good luck.
