How to perfectly sync looped clips? (in Waveform Oem)

[FreM]

Hello,

Sorry, this might be a dumb question which might have already been asked somewhere before, though I didn't really find a clear answer. I'm a complete newbie, and English is not my first language ... (I get a bit confused with the 'merge/sync/render/ ...)


What I saw people doing using a DAW:

They play a few chords on guitar or keyboard, stop playing, press a button, and then the chord progression somehow magically loops itself, on-beat. The looped clips connect perfectly, without you hearing that it are different clips. And without spending time on cutting, moving, ... them.

Can you do this in Waveform? If yes, how?

Thank you very much for your time.

If what you are describing was somebody loop recording multiple live clips in the Ableton Live session view, without a track timeline, you will probably need that program to do just that. Linear DAWs such as Tracktion are just not designed to handle that style of recording.

All recorded clip playback in Tracktion Waveform occurs along a linear DAW timeline, which you can loop. Clips can be arranged along one or more tracks but will only be triggered at the time indicated by the playback head, and are not looped independent of that.
