Hello,

I trimmed an audio clip and want it to repeat a few times. However if put place them back to back - it misses a beat. I want to add a blank sound (or rest) for a beat. How do I add this on to my clip? Just add no sound for a beat, the product it so when I loop it I get three beats and a rest.

Am I making sense?

Thanks,

Veepo

At the scrubber position, just use "Adjust Audio" > "Insert Silence" and specify duration of silence to add. If you want to take a part of the existing clip and silence, use the orange markers on the side of the scrubber to adjust range, and then right mouse click and "Silence Selected".

Bonus Question time is measure in seconds - any way to convert that to beats when inserting the silence
