Looping Groove Clips

Here's where Groove clips get real fun. You need only drag the beginning or end of a Groove clip to
create repetitions or loops.
First, though, lets copy the Groove clip in Track 2.
To Copy a Groove Clip
1. Press the Ctrl key and click and drag the clip until the beginning is at measure 8 and release.
The Drag and Drop Options dialog appears.
2. Make sure the Copy Entire Clips as Linked Clips option is not checked and click OK.
A copy of the Groove clip now appears on the same track at measure 8.
To Loop a Groove Clip
1. Move the cursor over the end of the first Groove clip in Track 2 until the cursor looks like this
2. When the cursor changes, click the end of the clip and drag it to the right until you have created
one repetition of the clip (through the end of measure 6).
You can also create a partial loop of a Groove clip if the Snap to Grid setting is set to less than one
measure. You can create a partial loop as small as the Snap to Grid setting allows. For example, if your
Snap to Grid setting is set to quarter notes, you can create partial repetitions as small as a quarter of a
measure.
Now lets edit the clip we copied on Track 2.
