description:
Save Loop as WAV
This button opens the Save As dialog. The clip in the Loop Construction view is saved as a Groove
Clip/Wave file that has tempo and pitch information stored in it, and can be opened in SONAR or
ACID™. For more information, see “Saving Groove Clips as Wave Files/ACIDized Wave Files” on
page 424.
Enable Looping
The Enable Looping button allows a clip to be looped by dragging in the Track view. Loop-enabled
clips follow changes in the project tempo. Click the Enable Looping button to loop clips in the Track
view by dragging the left or right side of a clip with your mouse. When you loop-enable a clip it
automatically snaps to the nearest beat boundary (at 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc. beats). SONAR calculates
the appropriate beat number. Change the number in the Beats in Clip field if you want to change the
total number of beats in the clip.
