Looping an audio track
After I create an audio track of a guitar strum pattern how can I stretch it out while I play a second guitar part on another track? I tried looping it and it just keeps recording takes one after another. is there a way to copy and paste it?

after you create the audio track, right click on it (in the track view) and then choose GROOVE CLIP LOOPING then drag then end out as many "copies" as you want.
OR
just copy and paste. select it (highlight it) hit CTRL-C for copy and CTRL-V for paste. this method requires you to have good settings on your snap to grid function.

thank you for the Groove Clips tip. I tried this and was able to extend the clip but it sounds like its stuttering for lack of a better explanation. I just followed the optimization tweaks for my OS (Vista) but I'm not sure if its actually latency. any suggestions?

latency will cause stuttering. what is your soundcard? what driver mode are you using? what are your computer specs? what operating system?

I'm running Vista on a 2.2 core duo with 4gb ram and a Realtek Sound card I'm using MME for a driver

then your problem is likely due to latency. the realtek is no way capable of low latency recording. you can try to reduce the latency by downloading and installing ASIO4ALL, then changing to ASIO driver mode instead of MME. that might help. the best solution, however, is to buy a soundcard designed for recording. check my website for recommendations.

Thank you! I'll try that. If I were to buy and interface, say something like a M Audio fast track and run monitors from that would that reduce latency?
PS your new avatar is freaking me out! lol

Problem solved! I had to disable looping and make it stretch to tempo and change the tempo to match the project. thanks for your help Beagle.

Well, mixinstrings hasn't been back since November, 2010, so he probably can't help.
