Hi guys,

New to protools and have a question

How do i go about creating a basic loop pattern in Pro tools?
For the record, i have a new imac, mbox2 and protools 7.3
I read a couple of methods and the easiest was to import audio (say a WAV file) trim out the unwated sections of audio and zoom in and out until there is a nice clean loop.....problem is i cant get it looping even by going to Options/loop record and turning this on, as this was the advice given......in fact, the only way i could hear the audio looped was by going to the Region/Loop menu and selecting a number of loops....am i doing something wrong, why cant i have one section of music looped ??

Any help is appreciated.

PTools has a few new looping features, but I personally think they're too convoluted and prefer to just set the session to grid mode and the grid to bars and option-drag loops to the grid where I want them. That way I can work easily with the dynamics of the track (things popping in and out, muting for a bar) which I don't see how to do simply with the region looping.

Here is a good video about the loop feature of 7.3:

And here's a good tutorial about looping in PTs:
