Loops????

hi y'all.  I've tried reading the help files on this but am lost.  I'm using music Creator 6 and here's what i want to do.  I've recorded a song and it fades out with quite a long guitar solo. Behind the solo the rythem guitar is a simple B to A, B to D chord pattern.   Rather than play this over and over while recording, can i play it once, record it and simply repeat the pattern and record the solo. I tried enabling loop recording which does create a loop but the lead solo then starts to record back over itself. So the loop does not exactly appear to be the answer.   Any tips greatly appreciated.

yeah very easy. I often copy entire choruses that I nailed perfectly and insert them to the other choruses rather than recording or fixing the underlying ones. 

How I do it. 

First set the snap to setting to MEASURES. This way the splits and pasting are always perfectly on the measure line. 
Next split before the segment you want to copy and after the segment you want to copy.  Some experimenting with this will help you learn to do this perfectly every time.

With the 2 splits, you now have a new clip in the track. Now simply use copy and paste to make as many clips as you need. 

If your timing is dead on musically, and the splits are in the right place...... you should be able to paste the new clips end to end and not hear anything abnormal..... just a riff/chord progression that repeats perfectly as many times as you needed.
