assuming you've used a vst to record the part ... just set its output to the second midi channel so you have the same instrument on both midi tracks

Ehh no that's not what I want. When recording within a loop, once I go through the loop I want it to record different takes, and then be able to choose which I want. Not overwright.

For MIDI, you can't. Turn off the transport cycle and physically loop the background stuff a couple of times.

For audio, it does it automatically, it creates different regions and labels them "take 1", "take 2", etc. If you don't like the regions then you can change the audio cycle record mode to events.

Ahh thats what i've been doing, i was hoping there was something like it for midi, cause I keep overlapping when it loops.

Oh yes you can with miditracks. Go to your miditrack. Click on the "lanes button" and select "lanes auto" or "lanes fixed" (you might have to extend the width of the miditrack to make the "lanes button" visible). Then go to your transportbar (press "F2") and set the recordmode to "stacked" (Just click on the cycle icon on the leftside of the transport bar and a menu pops up). Finally enable the cycle option to record in cycles.
Set your locators, arm your track to record midi and hit record. All notes will be recorded and each cycle will create a new midi event that is stacked under the previous one. Good luck!
