Makeup of Drum/Bass/Loop Phrase

Loop Phrases
One method often used when putting songs together involves the creation first of all of a section of basic audio data of one or two
measures in length, and the basic song structure is then formed by repeating this section the required number of times. The term
Loop Phrase is used to describe one of these sections of basic audio data.
The most appropriate Loop Phrases for your tunes can be selected, placed on the Loop Phrase track, and then played back as
many times as you like.
You can also create your own original Loop Phrases using portions of recorded audio tracks or by importing audio data from
commercially available sampling CDs and the like.
