Let's say you have a 4 bar loop, and the loop is in 4/4 time, since there are 4 beats per measure, and there are 4 measures in the loop, you could multiply 4*4 and get 16, or just listen to the loop and tap/count out the beats. I usually just count the bars in the file i'm working with, multiply it by 4 and put that number in and it works! If it's a 3/4 file, then again, you count up the bars/measures, multiply by 3, or again, count beat by beat. By beat I'm refering to 1/4 note. HTH, D!J!X!

This should acidize it to the project as close as it can; if not you'll have to use sound forge to acidize the file. Note, if it's an entire song you are doing, make sure you remove as much empty space at the end and the beginning as you can, so that it won't interfear with the acidizing...
