I'm scratching my head over here trying to figure the best way to take my MIDI that's been recorded into Audio and have it loop for each Sequence. I know I could record a new Audio Track for each Sequence, but that would quickly take up my 8 Audio Tracks.

So what I did was record a 50 bar Sequence of the Midi progression, but I can't appear to copy the Audio Track to other sequences for looping. So I have my one long Audio Track now, and the only way I can think to get it on each Sequence as an Audio loop is to copy the Programs from the original Sequences to the new Sequence with my recorded Audio Track.

A huge pain in the neck considering I'd have to do this each time I record a new midi track.
Surely there must be an easier way I'm missing?

I suppose that could work, especially if I can delete the Audio Track after it's been recorded, so long as it stays in my sample pool?

It still seems like there should be a smoother and more intuitive way to do this, such as simply being able to copy your Audio Tracks to other sequences.

Get tutors bible, it will help you understand the basics. Record it as a sample in the sampler you won't waste any audio tracks. I'd use audio tracks for longer stuff without need of rearranging a whole lot.

Yeah, you can delete the Audio Tracks after they've been recorded. I can't always record using Sampler because I also use the Pad Perform, they don't work at the same time unfortunately.

I'll check out the tutor though thanks.
