Moving the loop points “manually”
Let’s assume you have set up a basic loop that you are happy with, except
for glitches or “bumps” at the turning point. You can then use the Cross-
fade Looper to move the points manually, in small steps, to eliminate the
glitch.
This is actually technically no different from moving the loop points in the
wave display, but the features of this dialog makes it much easier to find
good loop points, since the display gives you visual feedback as you go
along. We also recommend that you have playback going on in “Loop as
marked” mode since you will then also hear what you are doing!
The two ways of moving loop points
There are two ways of moving the loop points: dragging in the actual
waveform (position the mouse pointer in the display and drag sideways)
and using the “nudge” buttons.
• Dragging in the waveform allows you to perform larger moves more quickly.
• The nudge buttons are more useful for fine-tuning since they move the points by
one screen pixel. This means that in 1:1 zoom mode, each press on a nudge but-
ton moves the loop point a single sample.
The various moving options
• By moving the left part of the display, you are moving the end point to a later (left)
or earlier (right) position.
• By moving the right part of the display, you are moving the start point to a later
(left) or earlier (right) position.
• If you activate Linking, both the start and end points will move simultaneously.
That is, the loop length will be exactly the same, but the entire loop will move.
• You can switch to the Wave window and adjust the markers there, if needed.
You can drag either side of the waveform directly…
…or use the nudge buttons.
