Looping a track segment

Home  >  How To's  >  Playback  >  Looping a track segment

Description

You can loop a portion (or "segment") of a track indefinitely by defining a start point and end point.

Use cases

• You have a favorite portion of a track and would like to listen to it repeatedly.
• You're playing an informational track such as an audiobook, and would like to listen to a certain segment a few times till you have absorbed the information and are ready to move on to the next part of the track.

Demo

Steps

1 - Define a start point

Seek to the track position where you would like the loop to begin, and click the "A->B Segment loop" control button in the Player window (illustrated below).

2 - Define an end point

Seek to the track position where you would like the loop to end, and click the same control button (as in Step 1) in the Player window.

That's it ! Your segment loop is now defined, and will play indefinitely unless/until the loop is removed.

Removing the loop

To remove the loop, simply click the same loop control button.

NOTE

• The loop control button functions as a toggle, that can be in one of 3 states:

  • No loop defined
  • Start point defined
  • Start point and end point defined (i.e. loop is defined)

• Alternative ways to toggle the loop function:

  • Menu: Playback > Toggle A-B segment loop
  • Keyboard shortcut: ⌘L
