Hello !
Is there any chance to set loop function only for one selected track while recording on other tracks without looping them ?
I would like to avoid copy / paste works.  It's waste of time.
This function works perfectly in maschine. Why not in Studio One ?
Thanks.

The equivalent in Studio One would be dragging the track into Sample One and looping it inside of Sample One.  But, really, is pressing "d" in Studio One too difficult? You just have to press "d" to duplicate the clip as many times as you need it?  Pressing "d" aligns the duplicates perfectly.

Alternatively, you could also use the arranger track, again you just have to press "d" to duplicate the arranger sections.

Hi.  There is an alternative inside Studio One called Impact XT which works better than Sample One.  If you send the track audio data you want to loop (i.e. drum loop) to an Impact XT pad, then you can toggle loop function on the individual pad and then keep that looping while recording audio to a new track.  This is the kind of thing that Impact was designed for.  (I use it mostly in conjunction with pattern editing, but Impact XT is massively powerful once you get used to it.)  You can send audio to Impact via a contextual ctrl or CMD/right click on the audio event.  #### Sample one is great for making instruments from samples.  In my case I sampled a Happi Drum (tuned to D major) on an audio track and then mapped it in Sample One.  ####Impact is great for looping musical sections independently from the main arrangement loop.  Use it with patterns/parts for some nice looping action.
