Trouble Identifying beat like in Disk Flix

[Simpson]

I'm trying to identifying the beat in my session like they show in the Disk Flix video called "Identify Beat". When I select audio (either using the down and up keys or just selecting it with the pointer) I can loop the selection but when I stop the loop it deselects itself. When he does it in the video it stays selected after he stops the audio so he is able to refine his selection.

When I deselect "Link edit and timeline selection", then select audio, it will stay selected but it won't loop the selection. Any suggestions?

Setups > Preferences > Operations > Timeline insertion follows playback. Uncheck it. Then turn the edit/timeline link back on.
