Loop Envelopes

play just a part of a loop

e.g. you have a drum loop sample where you really like the sound of the backbeat, but you don’t want to have the whole beat playing. That is a great example of how you can use clip envelopes.

1) open up the envelope tab

  • select the clip you want to edit
  • if not already open, click on the right button in the bottom of the clip overview:

2) select the parameter and draw a curve

  • Select Clip from the dropdown menu
  • Select Volume from the dropdown menu
  • Activate the draw mode either by clicking in the upper right or by pressing B
  • draw the curve to blank out everything beside the backbeat
