<<<any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong.>>> What may be wrong is you're using a USB turntable. No shortage of complaints about those. This particular problem may be traceable to the headshell connection. Did you have to screw the cartridge and needle assembly onto the tonearm before you p...

<<<I hope someone can help me.>>> Certainly. No trouble at all. Since all actual looping methods create some sort of disturbance at the loop point (sometimes changing with the humidity) the solution is to avoid looping. Create a musical piece of a half-hour or so with several copies of that one clip...

<<<rythmic silece>>> Rhythmic....what? I got the :30 from iTunes. I hear a highly synthesized drum track with filtered voices drifting in and out. Processed violins. There is one segment of vocal where the singer is singing in time with the music. I guess that could be done in post with sloppy setti...

Niki, You need to post this question in the right forum. This is where you talk about the forum colors and tools, not music. Please go back to here... http://audacityteam.org/forum/ ...and pick which Audacity you have and Windows or Mac or Linux. They are much better to help you there. Good luck. Koz
