Looping

Sometimes you want to listen to one portion of a project over and over,

either so you can play along and rehearse or because you want to edit that

section of the project while it is playing and hear the results as you make

changes. SONAR has a playback looping feature that makes this simple.

Looping is defined in the Loop/Auto Shuttle toolbar, as shown here:

A. Click to turn looping on or off B. Click to copy the selection (From and Thru)

times C. Click to open the Loop/Auto Shuttle dialog box D. Loop End time E. Loop

Start time

To set up a loop, you do three things:

• Set the start time of the loop

• Set the end time of the loop

• Enable looping

From then on, SONAR will automatically jump back to the start of the loop

when it reaches the end.

When looping is enabled, the loop times are indicated by special markers in

the Time Ruler.
