  • Working with Loops: Can't Turn Looping Off [SOLVED]

I work in FL Studio a lot and a lot of the loops I've created in FL Studio, don't always work very well in SONAR.

For instance, when I insert a loop, the waveforms aren't aligned with the markers embedded in the loop file, so when I hit play, you would hear the sample where the markers are placed but the actual waveform is behind.

Also, disabling the looping function in the Inspector>Clip>Groove Clip>Looping, does nothing and if I click on the clip, I could see the box I unchecked, is checked again.

Anyone knows what's happening here?
 
Solution:
I just had to set the project tempo BEFORE dragging in the file and the markers would line up with the waveforms.

Hi. This may not what you are after / of any use, but have you tried right clicking on the clip, associated audio files, and press recompute picture? If it plays correct, maybe it could be a graphic thing?
Best of luck.

I don't fully understand that description of the problem, but am wondering if Beats in Clip = 192 shown in the screenshot is correct. If not, you might need to enter the correct value.

I'll give those suggestions a shot and see what happens.

A similar thread popped up a while ago. Bear in mind that FL export is not an acidized/Rex loop, so it will not "auto stretch." If the BPM in the SONAR project is not identical to the FL export, it will not play on beat.

I forget if the OP on that thread said if FL has those export options or not.

It does have the option to export as an Acidized wav but it wasn't my intention to create an Acid loop... I DID find out why my markers were out of sync. Just have to set the project tempo before dragging in the file and the markers would line up with the waveforms.
