I'm trying to loop a track of audio I have recorded myself on a guitar.
I`ve highlighted the section of audio within the track that I want to loop and clicked on "loop selected area"
It sort of loops but still plays the count in and then continues to play other tracks for a bar after the selected section and then loops back but once again loops the click intro. I'm thinking there must be a setting somewhere but I can't find it.
Can anyone help?

Hi Steve.
Just to clarify... What kind of looping are you meaning? In BIAB, the looping that you are referring to is for BIAB to loop a previously set number bars. This kind of looping is designed for practice purposes. Is this the kind of looping you had in mind or are you after a guitar loop that will play throughout the whole as part of the accompaniment?

Noel's on the money here (no surprise). Perhaps looping the entire song is enabled. Check your configuration on this setting: ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32437&filename=2026-03-24_18-34-24.jpg)

Update: If you have 2025, then the looping option will be within the transport controls, but in a different place to what I have shown above.

thanks for the replies.
I'm pretty new to BIAB and I'm trying to help a non tech friend to use the software.
I'm tring to loop a 6 bar track I have recorded on guitar which I want to repeat throughout the 60 bar song. This is just to save time and not record the full 60 bars on my guitar. Perhaps I'm being lazy but I feel that this software must be able to do that?
Edit
I've had another go and I can get the 6 barr section to loop BUT it loops all the other tracks too. Can I loop a section of a single track only?

Select the 6 bars of your guitar track in the Audio or Notation window, copy them (Ctrl+C), then manually paste them 10 times (to cover 60 bars) consecutively into the relevant track. This avoids global repetitions of the song that affect all tracks. Cheers I'll give it a go
