Chapter 15: Working with Regions and Selections 195
To repeat a selection or region:
1 If working with material that is bar- and
beat-based, such as loops, set the Main
Time Scale to Bars:Beats.
2 If desired, set the Edit mode to Grid to
constrain the selection to the current Grid
value.
3 Drag with the Selector in the track to se-
lect the material you want to repeat.
– or –
Click in the track and enter the start and
end points for the selection in the Event
Edit area.
4 Choose Edit > Repeat. In the Repeat dia-
log, enter the number of times you want
the material to repeat, then click OK.
The material is placed immediately after
the selection’s end point, and duplicated
by the number of times specified.
In Shuffle mode, the repeated data is placed
directly after the end of the selection. Re-
gions occurring after it are slid to accom-
modate the repeated material. In Slip
mode, the repeated material overlaps any
adjacent data.

terial.

terial already residing there.

side of existing regions, a new region is cre-
ated for the data.
