No doubt this is old school to many, but I've never needed this. I'm just
about to begin a new kinda offbeat project, and there's going to be a lot
of speed changes, so bars & beats will be near useless, but there will be
a lot of parts looping. I need to know the tricks to sync things up with
existing files. If I have a file which loops on one track, and want to dump
a different loop on a track next to it...?
I understand there are keystrokes to line the now bar up with the start or
end of a peice of audio. Hence I could use that to sit the now line in place,
paste the loop, then press some keys to line it up with the next loop, paste,
and repeat... could I not?
Or is there an easier way? Or won't that work? Or should I switch to Ableton
Live? ;o)
Cheers,
Kim.

Hi Kim
I haven't used keystrokes for that but I've used markers and "snap to" and
even the information bar to line up tracks with each other.
Not what you wanted to know but it's a start, sort of
