Default trying to make loops not sound like there being cut off

Whenever i make a track and start bussing the individual sounds to audio tracks. You can notice where the track loops at. If that makes any sense. I want the waveforms to have a smooth transiton when i start duplicating and copy and pasting.

Assuming that the loop is already looping at roughly musical points, zoom in at the start and end of the loop and make sure the waveform crosses at zero. Use fade-in and fade-out to do this.

Waveforms spend most of their time above or below the zero line, crossing zero when going from positive to negative (above to below) and vice verca. This happens thousands of times a second in music. When one region ends and another begins - which is what happens with loops - and the waveforms to not meet at the same level, the speaker trys to get from one level to another instantly, instead of following a smooth curve over time. Clicks and pops usually result. Waveforms at the zero crossing are by definition at the same level, so these are good points for editing and looping.

If you are on PT 7.4, Chapter 21 (Editing Basics) of the Reference Guide is worth a read, especially page 405. Actually, reading the whole manual would be wise!

Placing a short crossfade at the splice will help.
