How to repeat something
How do you make a part of recording repeat itself? I was going to make a nature recording to use as background in my reading audiobook, and wanted to only record about 10 minutes and then make it repeat.

Re: How to repeat something
An alternative way is to select all of the track you want repeated, then use Menu->Effect->Repeat, and tell it how many repeats to make. These are treated as individual clips. They will play together seamlessly. If you want to remove the "joints", use CTRL-J (Join). This will also work with an interior selection. The multiple copies will be inserted at the end of the selection, rather than the end of the track, and there will be no "joints" to remove.
