This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!
RIP Waveform.
Rules are as follows:
- Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
- No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.
I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!
Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:
(in no particular order)
- Stuff you made/are making. Get valuable feedback and criticism!
- Learning resources - videos, articles, posts on any topic concerning a production process, be it composition, sound design, sampling, mixing, mastering, DAW workflow or any other.
- Free plugins, presets and samplepacks. Giveaways and self-made stuff included!
- News about production software, releases and personalities.
- Questions and general advice about music production.
- Essays on your favorite productions. Inspirations and insights!
- Your physical analog gear! Let us know how it performs!
Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Not so, but a rabbit hole is a rabbit hole :)
You could do it manually with something like Audacity; just cut and paste the part you want to loop over and over then cut and paste the end.
If you are willing to do it manually, I would highly recommend using Reaper instead. Both Audacity and Reaper have learning curves to them, but Reaper has dramatically better tools for seamless transitions. You are more likely to end up with clicks and pops in Audacity (or pay a steep price in time fiddling around at the microscopic level of the waveform).
As an example, in Reaper, you can add a reverb effect to a section that you are looping. Then in the Render dialog, enable the "second pass render" option.
That chunk of audio that it renders, will become a perfectly seamless loop in itself. The reverb tail that would have gotten chopped off at the end of that render, will continue on with the start of the render.
At that point, if you didn't really need the beginning and end of the song, you can have that chunk of the song that seamlessly loops forever, when played on repeat.
This is what i do.
Cut it up and stitch it into a looping track.
Love that. Old school DJ looping, but in the box. :)
In Reaper, you can tab to transient, which might be helpful for cutting things in rhythm, since the downbeat usually has got a big transient.
Oh man there was this website that would analyze patterns in music and shuffle them based on parts where they matched up with other parts of the song, and then show a web of each path you could take. Really fun to mess around with but I can't remember what it was called for the life of me and Google is useless nowadays
