LOOP

JAGUAR offers several ways of creating audio LOOPs to constantly repeat a small segment of audio:

• a user-adjustable manual loop by pressing the UP ARROW key twice (once at loop start, and once at the end of the loop)
• this can also be done by clicking the TOOLBAR > LOOP icon twice (once at loop start, and once at the end of the loop)
• the "What Was It" (WWI) loop by pressing SPACEBAR (creating a 10-second-long LOOP by default)

Audio LOOPs are displayed on PLAYBAR with special flag markers.

HOW TO

The LOOP marker positions can be changed by moving the mouse over the marker flag. The flag color turns to red when ready for repositioning, and scrolling the mouse or pressing the left/right arrow keys. You can also drag the LOOP markers to the desired positions.

Pressing SPACEBAR creates a "What Was It" audio loop. The default duration is 10 seconds but you can change this value: the new duration is given with a plugin line WWI=xx (xx is the new LOOP duration). The WWI values between 0 and 100 seconds are allowed. 0 (zero) means that WWI loops are disabled, i.e. SPACEBAR will be ignored.

You can release the audio loop (and their markers) by pressing the UP ARROW key once again, clicking TOOLBAR > LOOP once again, pressing SPACEBAR once again, or simply by pressing the ESC key.

If you have an audio LOOP defined, pressing the C key (= CLIPPER) will create an audio clip from the segment defined by the LOOP markers. If you instead click TOOLBAR > SCISSORS, you will get a small popup menu, from which you can select either CHOP (see CHOP for details) or CLIPPER.

In addition, two handy LOOP tools are available: PAINT_LOOP and AUTOLOOP.

If SETTINGS > PLAYBACK > PAINT_LOOP is enabled, you can also use the mouse cursor for painting the loop area on PLAYBAR.

If SETTINGS > PLAYBACK > AUTOLOOP is enabled, when JAGUAR opens an ARCHIVE file that contains a TOH or BOT timespot, a LOOP around the TOH or BOT will be set automatically. The LOOP time around TOHs are always XX:59:35-XX:00:15 and the LOOP time around BOTs are always XX:59:50-XX:30:10.
