i got a stupid question. I got a loops CD, there r so many sample sound in it just like drum and bass. How can i use it in cool edit pro? I opened the samples with cool edit, but i just can play it once in a track. so how can i copy it and paste it a lot of times in order that the sample drum sound can go through my whole song. I mean how to copy it and paste it?
thx
 
get a loop/sampling program like fruity loops and program it. then render it to wav file and put that in cool edit.
 
hi,
not a stupid question, in fact, i've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do this efficiently in CEP. Here's one way I've found... Record the sample that you want in the EDIT window...make sure you slice it up just right so that if you play it looped in the EDIT window, there are no obvious clicks or anything that let you know its actually looped. (its best to have someone else in the room with their eyes closed tell you if they can spot the seam). Then, still in the EDIT window, go to view->wave properties and click on the "loop info" tab. Set the option button to "loop" and you can probably go with the default # beats, tempo, and key for now. Save that wav, then insert the wav block into an empty track in the Multitrack session window. There - right click on the wav block and open "loop properties." click - "enable looping" and then choose your loop type. Once you're back in the Multitrack window, there should be a little icon in the bottom right corner of the wav block. If you left-click on this and drag to the right (in time) you can stretch the loop out as long as you need it there and CE automatically sets the looping for you. The really great thing about it is that you can force a loop to fit to a certain bpm if you're using that feature in the overall multitrack settings...and the volume/pan/effects envelopes span the entire loop. Having said all this, I think the loop properties sub menu may only be available in CEP2.0 so I hope I haven't wasted your time. Anyway - hope that helps!
I'd also like to say I just discovered this site the other day and it has unearthed a huge amount of new and interesting (and very useful) information for me!! I felt the need to "give back" ...thanks!

Click to expand...
or right click on it, select "loop duplicate"...you can then enter a number from 1 to 99 for how many copies you want.
 
I'd like to make one clarification between what i mentioned above and "loop duplicate"
loop duplicate does exactly that, it takes an existing wav block and copies it up to 100 times or something. the downside to this is that if you wanted to pan your loop left/right or do anything that involves an envelope in the multitrack mixer, each loop is treated as a seperate block so you have to adjust the envelope of each block (also if you want to remove parts of the loop, you have to remove each block individually). If you set up your loop the way I mentioned above, its very easy to add or subtract loops by just clicking on the little icon at the bottom right of the block and dragging the loop....and, the entire loop is treated as one wav block so any envelope adjustments affect the entire set of loops.
