I'd like : select a section, play, tweeek just that section without having to press play over and over again. All windows audio apps have this facillty :) How do people here edit your tracks - do you place the start point somewhere, press play, listen, press stop, put the start point back, press play, listen ... seems odd to me. Even my old Yamaha QY-10 had a loop facility, and my cassette tape portastudio had one! Cheers, Andy
