Moving loop points

[ThunderKyss]

Let's say I'm composing. I want to work on my intro, then my verse, then my chorus. I set up loop points to compose my intro. Now I want to move on to my verse.

Is there any way to just grab the loop markers & move it as an object? IF you've ever done this in Logic, you know what I'm talking about. You highlight the bar in the ruler at the top, then you can grab it & move it..... like if you want to loop 4 bars at a time, or 8 bars, etc...

You can try different methods :
create an empty midi track,
make a selection comprising the "intro",
consolidate that in the midi track, rename it to "intro".
Same for verse and chorus.
Switching between those selections is easy, just click the relevant midi clip. And maybe followed by Alt+F.
Can also be done with an empy audio track.
Or,
make a selection, Enter numeric pad (make memory location), choose selection , name it accordingly.
Shows up in the memory location window and is immediately selectable from there.

If you switch on dynamic transport in options you can drag the selection around, similar to Logic...
How it behaves depends on how you've set link timeline and edit selection...
Hope this helps

Thanks for the quick replies guys. joachim, that sounds easy enough.. like I should have already thought of that.

DDDaniel... I've got research to do.


Thanks again.

From the manual:

To move the Timeline selection:
 With any Edit tool selected, drag the selection
on the Main Timeline ruler to another location.

It works just like it did in Logic, thank you.
