Benifits of using Loop in the trim screen

can someone tell me why you would use loop mode when cutting samples I just use trim or zone and wonder what its actually for.

I use it when i trim the sample so i know it is a perfect amount of bars that i need which will effect your timing .After I get it to loop perfect I take loop off and go back to trim and trim the part not needed in the loop

aiight any other uses?????????????????????????????????

yea i like to loop up my greens and and get smoked.... make sure u cut the blunt at zero crossings to get a tight roll...
but thats all it can do... so dont try to use it and figure out anything about it....

What lamp is saying is that its more usefull for sounds that do not already loop (like a drum loop). Drum loops should be looped in the sequencer (with or without chops). The loop feature in the sample edit is more usefull for sustaining a note of a non-percusive sound. Once you set it up this way, the note sounds as long as you hold the button. Normally the sample is the same length every time, this would allow you to hold for an 1/8th note, 1/16th note or 2 bars if you want all from one sample/pad. Very usefull if you are using 16 note variation with tune, especially since pitch effects the length of non-loopedsamples.

Learn something new everyday. Never really understood what that screen was for.

Exactly it, thanks for breaking it down.

Lemme add I also use the params-decay end and start along with that so when I let up off the pad the sound doesn't stop abruptly, it gives me a quick fade in-out (you can adjust both) so the wave loop starts-stops smoothly (this will help elimante the possibility off pops-clicks at the begining and end of the sample).

But no, what I said along with McSmooth is NOT intended for drums.

i use it on percussions samples sometimes, to achieve a roll type effect that is higher than what the quantise can offer. there alot of usefull things you can do with it, and the only thing i can suggest is fooling around with it. which all types of samples, small and large, loop'd or one shot.
