Can anyone explain to me a way to make very basic guitar loops that sound good without a noticeable break at the beginning and end of the track...I`m not looking for perfection here just something to practice over..I haven`t been able to do it without it sounded bad when the chord progression repeats...I`m just looking to make a few very short loops maybe 8-16 measures so possibly a 30-45 second loop at most.
I know if I search all the forums and the manual I`ll probably find the information but I`m not looking for rocket science here...just something better then looping the chord progression and having to listen to space at the beginning and end.
Thanks

Re: how to create guitar loops
Viewing the recording as a spectrogram, rather than a waveform, makes the looping points more obvious ...lonepilgrim wrote:Can anyone explain to me a way to make very basic guitar loops that sound good without a noticeable break at the beginning and end of the track..

Re: how to create guitar loops
The "Timeline Quick Play" feature (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/timeline.html#tqp) is useful for locating loop positions.
Note that exporting in MP3 format will add a little silence at the start/end of the file, so MP3 is not a good format for looping files. WAV, Flac and Ogg formats don't have this problem.
