Looping Playback

You can loop (or cycle) a section of your project, so that it plays back repeatedly. This
can be useful when editing a part of the project, and you want to hear the results of
your edits in real time. You can loop playback by defining a cycle area in either time
ruler.

To define a cycle area:

m

In either time ruler, drag from the desired loop start position to the point where you
want looping to end.

Click-dragging the cycle area handles allows you to resize an existing cycle area.

To remove the cycle area:

m

Click anywhere outside the current cycle area in the time ruler. Note that this will move
the position line to the clicked point.
