Looping multiple tracks

[SneakyPete]

Is it possible to loop multiple tracks of different lengths in Cakewalk? So far I can only do the entire song. I used MasterTracks years ago and I was certain I could do this.

Hello SneakyPete - welcome to the board.

What do you mean by "loop multiple tracks of different lengths"? If you mean take say a verse section and loop all of the instruments, then sure, Sonar will do that. If you mean each instruments having a different loop length, then I think you are defying the laws of physics...

Yes, inside the same song. For example on track one, I would lay down 2 measures for the drums; On track two, I would lay down 4 measures for the bass; On track three I might use 16 measures to write a melody. The drums and bass would continue to repeat themselves at the end of their measures up until they reached the end of the 16th measure. Can't this be done in Cakewalk or Sonar?

In Sonar, you would set the shorter clips up as Groove Clips and pull them out until the 16th measure if you wanted to hear them through until the 16th measure.
