Hi, I've been using bb for years but just now trying out real tracks so have a couple questions. I would like to import some percussion audio tracks. They are only two bars so is there a way to make them loop (repeat) without copying and pasting in the track to get it to correct length?

Also looking at the chords window is there a way to set number of bars in chorus and repeats as in BB?

Thanks!

Can you copy the 2 bar loop to the bb\RealTracks\Loops folder
go to the Loop picker window highlight the drum loop then fill in the info below like tempo and beats (8).

In Realband it's all linear
verse 1
chorus 1
verse 2
chorus 2
solo 1
etc..

It's like in BB when you Edit > Unfold
you can easily highlight, copy & paste any section in the chord window.

Some DAWs allow you to click the end point of a loop and simply drag it out as far as you need it to go. IDK if RB allows this or not. Sonar does.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

As does Adobe Audition.

Thanks for the replies. The loops in bb\RealTracks\Loops do look similar to what I'm trying to use. Not sure how to get to the loops picker but will give it a try. I guess it's not so bad to cut and paste since I will eventually need to stick in drum fills etc.

Crash, I think this is the Loops Picker that SR was mentioning:

Just set to snapping, highlight the 2 bars then use Ctr+Alt to Copy & Move without the Copy/Paste window coming up each time, then you can highlight 4 bars and do the same.
