How do I select a midi clip and then set markers/loop around it?..seems impossible!

[yul]

Hello,

Currently evaluating latest Tracktion.

One operation I really like to do is to create a midi clip and then edit/steps and loop playback until satisfied.

I cannot seem to find how to do this.. I mean I create a midi clip and if I want to bring I/O markers around it, it seems really tedious.

In Reaper, there is a function called "loop selected items"...how can I do this in Tracktion?

Thanks!

Keyboard shortcuts:
"M" to place in/out markers around select clip(s).
"L" to toggle looping

Thanks!!! Anything with the mouse then?

As Tracktion has the "M" option in this case, is there any need for a mouse action?

My guess is that the devs, are avoiding drop-downs as much as possible, (apart from the bottom left hand corner), unlike say, Reaper, where if you right click on an empty MIDI clip, there's 26 live options, and has to be at least another 50 on the second layer.

Thats the beauty of Tracktion, minimal bloat.

Got it! Thanks!

In addition to selecting the clip and pressing the "M" key to place markers at the beginning and end of the clip, you can also drag the cursor to the position you would like the loop to start and press the "I" key, this will set the loop start position, then you can drag the cursor to the position you would like the loop to end and press the "O" key, this will set the marker at the loop out position.

When using audio clip, all the same applies, except you also have the option in the track properties panel to add remove markers for looping purposes.

.... and is you are a big mouse fan... you can drag the I and O that are at the up and left corner of the edit.

I know this is ages old but anyways:
The above doesn't seem to work (anymore). If I press "M", the mixer panel is opened/closed. No loop markers are set.
Is there a (new) command to achieve this, automatically set loop markers to beginning and end of a clip.

Better yet, you can go to settings and make it what what you want within reason. I like to have all my most common things like loop, split, edge fade, panel views, merge, name clips from track etc all on my left hand by the shift/ctrl/alt keys

[dysjoint]

Also, I and O for in and out, setting loop markers manually.

Select the clips and then press A L

Finally tried myself: Yes, "A" works.
Now, that I know "A", I also found it at Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts: "Set loop range over selected clips".

Once more bringing up this old thread, meanwhile concerning Waveform 12.5.11:
Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts: "Set loop range over selected clips"
Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts: "Set loop to range"
What is the difference between these two commands supposed to be?

To me the first command does not recognize which clips are currently selected but appears to do what the second comannd claims to do, setting the loop to the selected range.
Do these commands behave indeed differently on your system?

Currently found behaviour:

If only having selected a clip or several clips, then the first command sets the IN and OUT markers to the edges of the first selected and last selected clip on the time line, while the second command will not do anything.

If having selected a time range, then both commands identically will set the IN and OUT markers to the edges of the selected time range. Any additional selection(s) of a clip or several clips will not affect this behaviour.

To me it appears as if the second command is obsolete after the first command covers already both selection cases. Or do I miss something?
