Creating Loops

Creating Loops

Looping a section of a track is the fastest way to drill a passage. NoteHound lets you set precise loop points and repeat them as many times as you need.

Setting Loop Points

1. Play or scrub to roughly where you want the loop to start.
2. Tap the A button (green) to set the loop start point at the current playhead position.
3. Move to where you want the loop to end.
4. Tap the B button (red) to set the loop end point.
5. Tap the Loop toggle to enable looping. Playback will repeat the A—B region continuously.

If no loop exists yet, tapping either the A or B button creates a new loop region.

Dragging Markers on the Waveform

Once loop points are set, they appear as draggable markers on the waveform. Touch and drag a marker directly on the waveform. Each marker has a 20-point hit radius for easy grabbing. While dragging, a coloured guide line appears — green for A (3px, 90% opacity), red for B (3px, 90% opacity) — showing the exact position. If both markers are within hit radius, the closest one is selected. Markers cannot be dragged when the waveform is locked.

Zooming in on the waveform before dragging gives you more precision. See Waveform Zooming.

Marker Appearance

Each marker is a 2pt vertical line spanning the full waveform height, with a small badge at the top (bold white letter on a coloured background with 2pt rounded corners). The A marker is green; the B marker is red. Active loop pair markers are fully opaque; inactive pairs are shown at 30% opacity.

Loop Behaviour

The highlighted region updates in real time as you drag. The transport snaps back to the A point automatically when it reaches B. If the A marker is placed after the B marker, they are automatically normalised (swapped internally).

Free vs. Pro

• Free: A limited number of saved loop pairs per project
• Pro: Unlimited loop pairs

Pro feature: Save and name as many loop pairs as your project needs with a Pro subscription.

Tip: Set markers while playing to capture a passage on the fly. You can refine the positions later by dragging them on the waveform. For quick A/B looping without saving, just tap A and B and toggle the loop on. You can always name and save the loop later. See Managing Loops.
