Hi,
 
I want to send someone a sample of what I'm busy doing.  I want to send him a render of 16 bars but I want to loop it 3 times.
 
I DON'T want to copy and paste everything just so the loop is 3 times as long as it is originally...
 
Possible?

Slip-edit the end to create three iterations, bounce the clip to itself, then export or drag to the desktop prior to sending.
 

Turn it into a Groove Clip and drag it out for as long as is needed

Thanks for the input but I clearly stated that I don't want to create more than one copy/iteration...
 
I just want to select a section of the track and have it repeated 3 times in the mixdown

Actually you said "I DON'T want to copy and paste everything just so the loop is 3 times as long as it is originally..." so none of the solutions offered above involved copy and paste.
 
It now sounds like what you want is to place a loop within a project, and tell it to loop a certain number of times independently of any loop happening within the project itself. If I understand correctly, in your example there will be a 16 measure clip in the project that will play back and when the now time reaches the end of the clip, it will play back again, two more times, even though the now time will have moved past the clip.
 
If the person you're sending it to is using SONAR, this is not possible within track view. It is possible within Matrix view, although you would have to stop the loop playback manually while the rest of the song kept playing.
 
 

Theoretically you could drag your clip to a matrix cell and record it from there... though it would just record to the original track I think so you'd get the same result as if you made it a groove clip and dragged out. 

Never mind. No one understands what I'm trying to do... And I don't understand any of the solutions provided...
 
Delete thread - I'll just write this off as a bad experience...

Let't try again - I want to render bars 16 to 32 as it comes out the master channel, but it needs to be repeated 3 times

It's not a clip - it's the master output that I want to render between bar 16 and 32, but repeated 3 times, without messing with the track layout!

I'm still not sure I understand, but would like to help if possible. Based on your saying "I want to render bars 16 to 32 as it comes out the master channel, but it needs to be repeated 3 times," I interpret "render" as meaning you want to create an exported file. Although there are no real "language police" for audio, the usual definition of render is to mix edits "into a final, single continuous clip that can be shared, burned, uploaded or archived. Rendering is generally synonymous with compiling, saving, or exporting a file." So maybe the reason for the miscommunication is that this is not what you mean by render?
