Stutter When Looping and Using the 'Repeat' Effect

[christianbethel]

Is there some sort of trick for matching up the rhythm when looping a file?

It can sometimes be easier to see the beats by looking at the track spectrogram view (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spe ... _view.html).

Try to identify the first beat of each bar.
In difficult examples (as shown below) it may be necessary to perform a crossfade: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/cro ... racks.html

Try to line the tracks up so that the track that is fading in (the upper track in this example) is fully faded in on a 1-beat, lined up with the 1-beat of the track that is fading out:

This is before the crossfade:

and this is after trimming and crossfading:

This example is tricky because the two songs are not at all similar - different rhythm, different tempo, different key, but nevertheless the result is not too bad:

OK, I think I can try to crossfade the tracks. Thanks so much for your help!
