Hey Slau, So my objective was to precisely select an area for loop playback (at normal speed), a little more than a half second of the wave form, to alter levels on...
Is there another way aside from splitting regions? I know my ear needs some training with the scrub wheel, but I'm not yet confident that what I select whilst scrubbing is is what I want playing in real time. Assuming there isn't another way, is it possible to play on loop a specific region?
