Let’s say I end up with 96 bars, but only want 1 of the 26 times I played it ( 4 bars ).
1st thing to do is just to record and forget that it’s recording, which is how I ended up with 96 bars in the 1st place.
2nd, I go into the clip menu and change playback length to 4 bars, and then move the loop start parameter until I get the performance that I want.
For each track I jam for a while without recording until I find a riff worth recording & repeat that for as many clips as I can.
I may not use all them when I make a composition. Some track are just copies of another to be used as a sonic layer so they're meant to be play together but not always.
Sometimes you may want to take advantage of the 128 tracks & make a orchestra & have a string section, brass section, synth section...etc, all with 4 or whatever tracks

Shouldn't it be 24?
