Re: [LAU] Loop Composition

Ahh, I see! You can combine regions for that. Select all the regions for
for example 8 bars, and then do right click->edit->combine or something
like that, and it gives you a full combined region for 8 bars. Really handy
when cutting up, doing stutter effects (which I do alot) etc.
