    Hi Just a quick idea.

    I want to do a bit of jaming with some friends and was planning on getting some bass lines, pads and beats together etc.
    I was thinking I could make a few different loops within the same arrangement (E.g. Verse, Chorus, …)
    Then switch back and forth between different loops.
    Would it be possible to allow more than one loop?

    Maybe then when I want to move to the next loop I just temporarily switch off looping, turning it back on when I want to stay inside the second loop

    Maybe this is possible now and I just haven’t been thinking about this the right way? Or maybe there are greater requirements from others for this kind of thing, for example kind of people who would normally use Ableton Live and do DJing etc. (which is not me!)

    Just a low priority idea really, what do others think about this?

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Suggestion:

    Add markers at the start of each section you want to loop. If the loop should stop before the next marker, set a marker at the end of the loop too.

    Then you can use the Alt+L shortcut to set the loop between markers. See the help popup for the loop range field in the transport toolbar.

    Depending on whether you use the “link edit cursor to play cursor” option, you can use Q or W to step the edit cursor between the markers, and then Alt+L to quickly set new loop ranges.
