Hi,
Is there an way to play the loop by a specific time?
Example: the track have 1 minute and I would like to play it 60 times.
Looks strange, but this function is very useful in an audio test laboratory.
Thank you,
Renato
“Effect menu > Repeat” (Repeat - Audacity Manual)
First of all, thank you for your support.
Yes, this is what I’m using now as an workaround.
But in some situations I have a 5 minutes file that must be playbacked by more than 1000 hours.
So, when I use the effect “Repeat”, the file becomes very huge!
This is why I’m looking for a function to just playback it by a specific time, instead multiply it…
Thank you,
Renato
Why not just loop play, and click the stop button 6 weeks later?
Because all audio tests are time sensitive and I don’t like to trust in the humans to stop them.
The test must finish automatically, with no human interaction. This is the best way.
Some tests must be done by 2h, others 8h, others 24h, 36h, 48h, 100h, 300h and 1000h.
Thank you,
Renato
I think we’ve reached the part where you tell us what you are trying to do.
I’ve just come across this discussion, and, sigh… it seems like there’s still no loop playback button.
For everyone who’s saying “just shift-click Play”: that loops FROM THE BEGINNING of the track. I want to start playing from the cursor and loop to the beginning when it reaches the end. The use-case for this is to make sure that a piece of music sounds right when looping from the end to the beginning, something I quite commonly need to do. If it’s a 10 minute track I don’t want to sit through 10 minutes of it playing, I want to play the last few seconds then loop to the start of the track. And as others have said, virtually every media player ever invented lets you do this. Why on Earth Audacity can’t just put a loop button in to do this I have no idea.
My vote, for what it’s worth, goes to adding a loop button.
