Groove clip looping

Just an update.
 
I recorded some audio. Then sliced the end from it so it was four beats in length.  I then applied groove clip lopping and the clip was stretched to 6 and half bars and is now slower.
 
Why is this happening
 
Please help.
 
Thanks.

Why is this happening? 

I'm not sure what is happening in your first post, but this is fairly normal for Groove Clips.
I'm guessing you meant 4 measures?
The Groove Clip algorithm attempts to guess how many beats are in a clip, and it almost always guesses wrong, especially if you are not using the metronome.
If you have selected a clip that is 4 measures at 4/4, we know this will be 16 beats.
When you open the loop Construction View, it probably shows something like 28 beats.
 Change the Beats In Clip value to 16, and the clip should line up properly.
It's all about the time reference embedded in the Groove Clip.
What you end up with needs to be the same as what you started with. More often than not, this requires some adjustment.

Sorry.
 
Also it seems a bit of a shortfall with sonar that groove clip looping dosnt work as well as it could do.
 
I would have thought that a programme like sonar would have a repeat or looping action built in that would just repeat exactlly what you want it to without having to go to the trouble it seems to throw up.
 
Seems a bit of an oversight.
 
When I see Pro tool clips on you tube they show someone hightlight a clip and enter the number of times they want to loop the clip and hey presto, it repeats the clip that number of times.
 
Just a bit of feedback from a new user.
 
Sorry if it seems like a moan.

Hi Stum 74.
 
Funny thing is I tried audio looping today again and managed to use the groove clip looping succesfully.
 
First I created the loop by playing a four bar synth part (physical synth with a lead going from the synth to soundcard)
 
Then instead of quantizing first I deleted the end of the take so the audio is exactly four bars (there was some excess audio going into the 5th bar).
 
I then just applyed groove clip looping and it worked perfectly.
 
I still need to figure the loop construction view properly as I cant seem to apply it properly yet.
 
Good luck with using Sonar. 
 
It does seem to be a really good piece of software but some applications on it could be more user friendly.
 
Just an opinion of a layman.
