Creating MIDI loops that are exactly x measures long
I am posting here to share how I am creating MIDI loops that are exactly x measures long.
First, I record MIDI in the timeline with a little space in front of the area I wish to keep, for the count in. When I hit stop, there is also a little unneeded space at the end as well.
I then loop select the measures I wish to turn into a loop, and shift-S to "split at loop points".
I then right click on the loop to edit a copy of the loop. When the editor comes up, I hit esc.
Finally, I delete the blank spaces from the original recording that fall outside of the loop selection.
I now have a copy of the loop in the timeline that I can click-drag to lengthen or "roll out" the loop without the blank spaces that were in the original recorded item.
This works fine. I'm just wondering if there is a faster way to accomplish the creation of loops that are exactly x measures long, before I post an FR on this topic.
Thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving!
