    haha I was venting up there. I'm on the latest version. When I try to adjust the loop points manually it automatically puts them in the same place every time. Always a little too close or away from the end of the loop. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bungay.gif" alt="" /1

    Are you talking about the autolooping thing or loops that you set ahead of time?

    b, 21b, 21Loops that you create. Loop rolls and the trancifier work great. b, 21b, 21Now when you try to re-edit a loop's beginning point, it doesn't budge. You can only change the end point. It seems like it's snapping to some invisible grid. I haven't tried it with a song that's not BPM tagged, which might be whats going on...

    b, 21b, 21Huh, weird. I've never had a problem with preset loops (though they do seem to snap to an invisible grid, but that's OK with me), but the autolooping is a bit img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ehh.gif" alt="" /1 to me...even if you catch the starting point correctly (which is hardly guaranteed), it doesn't necessarily do the end point correctly. It seems like it just counts what 4 beats or 8 beats or whatever *should* be at a given BPM and loops that exact amount of time without actually looking at the beat, so you'll try to set a two-bar loop and it'll cut off too early or too late and your loop sounds fucked.
