Set L and R to loop on visible section of sequencer

Posted: 16 Aug 2019

I was comping so vocals the other day and I had to adjust the loop bars over and over.
I would like a keyboard shortcut to set the L and R cursors to automatically position the L marker on the left side of the visible area of the sequencer, and the R marker on the right. If they could snap like everything else that would be nice.

That would be kinda handy when needed.

I was going to tell you the shortcut key but then I realised I was thinking of a different DAW! :oops:

'P' will loop and play the selected clip. Probably closest hotkey.

Not sure what you mean, the whole song?

It's Left and Right Locators btw, the cursor is what you move with the mouse. ;)

Shortcuts for the left and right loop locators (and end) are available. option/shift and command clicking on the top of the timeline. Thats the quickest way I know to set the loop points

Last night (i couldn't sleep) i asked my self if the props should add the possibility, to have the option (in Preference Menue) that the L & R would be automatically set to the zoom. I mean Z and P combined? (if you use Z again to zoom out, it should set the L & R to the position it has had bevor the zoom in)

In my brain 🧠 it looks like a simple an good solution, but maybe in practice it is not so funny as i think 🤔 of it :-)

L and R cursor, locator whatever. On oscilloscopes similar items are sometimes called cursors, so that's where that comes from.
I want to adjust them to the edges of the screen when zoomed in on a clip. Maybe snap to the nearest bar.
