Originally posted by skip i very much disagree with this. something is added or removed every 32 beats, so if you loop the 32 beats it hasn't added or removed anything yet. when i've looped something on my computer i've always used a 32 beat loop, except on one occasion i had to use a 16 beat loop as a 32 beat loop would have gone just as you said. and i've had no problems with these loops whatsoever.

Depends on what you're playing then really. You can get away with 32 beat loops with techno for example but not sure about a lot of trance music as it usually has a synth or somehting similar building up during an 8bar phrase and would abruptly (sp?) cut back to the beginnning when looped.

but the synth repeats itself on beat and phrase too. therefore it won't be abrupt when the loop goes back to the start as the synth will just continue from where it left off. i've extended the intros or outros of maybe about 20 tracks. some have been trance, some house and one techno. and it has pretty much always worked out just fine. have you actually tried to set a 32 beat loop on any track?
