Go on then, how do you do that? :)
like you would in anything else... line them up, put fades and effects on them,
toss other stuff into the mix.
Why is this difficult? Are you looking for something like fruity loops that
makes it easy to assemble the loops themselves? What sort of functionality
are you wanting?
I can load sample files into Ardour (but can't line them up without
pixel-precision accuracy with the mouse ...) apply fx etc but I'd like
to select a section of a track and listen to it over and over (applying
fx, listen for mistakes etc) - Ardour does not have this facilty. I'd
like : select a section, play, tweeek just that section without having
to press play over and over again.
All windows audio apps have this facillty :)
How do people here edit your tracks - do you place the start point
somewhere, press play, listen, press stop, put the start point back,
press play, listen ... seems odd to me. Even my old Yamaha QY-10 had a
loop facility, and my cassette tape portastudio had one!
