How Do You loop a file from beginning to end?

1. Load your track into Har-Bal
2. While file is playing press the loop icon.
3. Track will loop from that point.

You can also let the file play almost to the end and then press the loop button, but most folks just choose a start position by dragging the slider to a particular spot in their mix and allowing it to play and then pressing the loop icon.
It's really not necessary to loop an entire track and much more effective to loop a region and make corrections.

You can only turn the loop icon on/off while the track is playing.

I have a 2 bar loop that I want to loop indefinetly while I use Har-Bal. It should be a perfect loop so it does not sound like there is a gap inbetween each repeat.

This seems to be the source of the problem. I am looking for a loop function just like the one in Wavelab 3 and 4.

Ahhh!!

I understand, Paavo can possibly implement this in the next maintenance upgrade.....just out of curiousity is there a special reason you need it to loop from the beginning to the end, because you only need a small portion of the spectrum to analyze and correct the entire song.

Yes. I am often dealing with a 2 or 4 bar section that is done in a few seconds if you play it without looping. Exported from Cubase SX it is already a perfect # of bars, so looping it will make it a perfect loop that runs indefinetly.
