Hello All, Have done some reading but hoping that someone can perhaps help me 
offlist so as to not bore anyone. Am still not grasping how to really use the 
loop feature and have a tough time pulling out what I need to know from manual. 
 Hoping to get some coaching of how to do the following; I would like to take a 
30 second drum groove  and have this loop continue on for approx four minutes 
which I'd like to be track no. 1. All other tracks would be over the bed of a 
30 sec. loop that lasts 4 minutes. Could someone explain to me how they might 
try to do this. Have a feeling there may be a couple ways of approaching it and 
hoping to get a feel for what needs to be done.
    I understand how to pick the size of the loop to make and use l and double 
l to turn off loop. So, do I now save this loop somehow in order to use it in a 
song? All suggestions or any help is appreciated. Dave
