"loop".
How do you audition a guitar solo, for instance? You'd want to listen
to it a few times without having to press stop/rewind/play every time?

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?
Check the Ardour archives. We had this discussion back around last January.
Actually, someone did a patch for Ardour that painted loops much like Acid
does. You placed the loop where you wanted it to start and then did a drag
to the right. If you went farther than the length of the loop then Ardour
put in a second copy of the loop, just like Acid.
Ardour was actually sort of nicer than Acid in that you could put multiple
loops on the same track. Acid doesn't allow that.
I think that none of this eventually made it into CVS, but I could be wrong.
maybe the functionality is there somewhere. (I don't use Ardour.)
