Does anyone know how to make drum loops in PT and be able to get the loop to end were you want it to? For instance I created a drum loop and it goes 2 Measures and a click over on the 3rd measure. I wanted it to pause a second and repeat the loop. Instead it goes through the loop and when it finishes, there is this long pause until it goes completly through the third measure and then restarts the loop. I tried to make the loop fit in just 2 measures but when I do that it jumps from end to start without a pause causing the end and begining to run together. I've looked at the manual and also looked through the power users guide, but can't find anything to assist me in fixing this problem.
I would like to be able to make a drum loop, and be able to have it loop and repeat from where ever I want it to. Is this possible?

You have to slice up the parts you want to loop and copy and paste them where needed.
To slice a clip use a right click and choose split at the spot you wanna make a slice.
When you have a chunk you wanna copy ctrl-right click it and drag it to the spot it should loop. If a new version of the clip doesn't appear use Edit->Undo Drag Move and try again.
If it doesn't drop exaclty where you want it, or the split isn't precise enough, change the Snap to grid settings ( the graph looking thing above the tracks )
OR build a 4 measure with the pause built in at the second measure
just a CRAZY thought!
