Looping a track infinitely

I want one track to keep on repeating forever, while I record a solo in the other.
Using "Cycle Region" causes both tracks to cycle.
I only want the loop track to cycle.
How do I loop a track infinite times?
I have used copy/paste to paste a loop repeatedly in one track.
But this approach limits me to a fixed recording time.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, guys!
Yes, that works nicely and pragmatically.
Of course, the time of 20 minute solos in published music is gone.
The aim is to record long solos, but sample the sweetest excerpts to form a final arrangement, of less than 5 minutes.

Looping single Tracks

GarageBand 10.0.3
OS X 10.9.5
Hi!
I want to loop single tracks in GarageBand. These are Midi Tracks, Support tells me I Should go over the track region with cmd to get the loop option as shown on the pic. I don't get that possibility, I can use the cycle function but this repats all tracks.
Do I have to add my track to the loop section first? Tried that but when I drag it back and into the loop section GarageBand tells me doesn't loop anyway.
Thanks for the help!

Do I have to add my track to the loop section first? Tried that but when I drag it back and into the loop section GarageBand tells me doesn't loop anyway.
Did you select "Type: Loop" when you added the region to the Loop Library? Otherwise it will not loop, but is a one-shot loop.
But you should be able to loop a region without adding it to the Loop library. Check in the track header, if the "Automation" button is highlighted. In that case it is not possible to loop a region. If you disable automation, you should see the curly loop cursor, if you select the region, and move the cursor to the upper right corner of the region - where the color of the region is lighter.

Loops in tracks sound muddled

Hi
I have a problem with my loops. They play ok in the browser, but when I move them to a track they sound like they are muffled or under water. Any ideas what could be going on? Are instrument libraries part of the installation? I can't find any documnetation on where loops or libraries are supposed to be or contain.
thanks

Yes, best I can tell.
In addition to all the loops, is there any requirement for all the instrument libraries? What it sounds like is that only a portion of the data for the track shows up. Is there a way to tell if a loop needs supporting data to function as a track. It is odd that it plays ok in the browser, but not in the track.

Loops to track.

Dual 1 GHz Power 2 MB L3 cache processor Mac OS X (10.3.9)
I just started to use loops in Logic and the drums are real easy to use, but when I try out one of the instruments, it plays in the right key as the songs in, but when I drag it to a track it changes to a diffrent key, what's up? Thanks.

To add to Justin's post, check your global key signature track as well. Make sure that it is set to the key of the song.

Looping a track whilst recording

Hi there, I am trying to record a new track, to a looping track in real time. But I am stopped short of my new recording track, at the end of the loop that repeats itself, and therefore can record no further than the end of my loop.
Hope that makes sense.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

That's strange. Is there a way to get around that?
Not the way you're doing it, no.
How do you record vocals over a loop for example?
You drag the bottom right corner of the loop as far out as you want to make it repeat.

Looping Audio Track

I have checked the 'loop' option in the property inspector on
an audio track that I placed in the 2nd audio chanel. However, it
does not loop...once it gets to the end it stops and that's it.
Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!

Cannot drag blue loops into track.

When I try and drag a preset/blue loop into my track, I get a message saying 'Not and Audio Track' as below. How can I fix this? Thank you.

You don't have to fix anything, becasue nothing is broken.
The Problem
Blue Apple Loops can only be dragged onto an Audio Track (Mic or Guitar). All your Tracks in your Screenshots are MIDI Tracks and that's why get the warning message.
The Solution
Create an Audio Track in your Project and drag the Blue Apple Loop onto its Track Lane.
Click on the Plus button above the Track List
That opens the "New Track Dialog" where you select the Mic Icon
Click Create and a new Audio Track is created in your Project
All that info and much much more can be found in my new manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

Workflow infinite loop how to Stop?

hi,
My workflow is having a loop it runs infinite bcos the condition is not proper. Inside the loop i have a send mail step.. How to stop the Running workflow???
Regards
Roops

Roop,
It seems that the loop condition is a workflow step and not something in the method code.
For active instances of this workflow you will have to manually intervene. There can be 2 options -
1. Open the workflow log and change the container values such that it comes out of the condition
2. Logically delete the workflow.
Hope this helps

Infinite While-loop!

Hey there! I'm trying to do some data input validation but I haven't been able to figure it out. First I need to check if the user entered anything, that one works. Then I need to check if what the user entered was a number. But I'm getting an infinite while loop in when I try to validate if the first character entered is a letter. . . .
Thanks for your help!
public class methods
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
String input ="";
int qoh=0;
boolean error=true;
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
//while (error)
                //   error=true;
                        while (error==true)
                            System.out.print("\nEnter Quantity on Hand: ");
                            input = keyboard.nextLine();
                            if (input.length() <1)
                                System.out.println("\n**ERROR06** - Quantity on hand must be between 0 and 500");
                                error=true;
                                System.out.println(qoh);
                                System.out.println(input);
                            else
                                error=false;
                        error = true;
                        while (error==true)
                            if (Character.isLetter(input.charAt(0)))
                                System.out.println("\n**ERROR06** - Quantity on hand must be between 0 and 500");
                                error=true;
                                System.out.println(qoh);
                                System.out.println(input);
                            else
                                qoh = Integer.parseInt(input);
                                error=false;
        }

1. add in breakpoints to your program.
Eg. put print statements before and after loops to confirm which loop is producing the inf loop error.
also add in print statements in your if and else blocks.
2. You should consider using keyboard.next() instead of nextLine()
Eg. how are you going to handle "500 orange crush"?
3. I have a feeling that the real problem lies at the 2nd loop where you tried to do a parseInt
What happens if you have "5lmao" charAt(0) check is passed, but it wont produce a int will it?
You might want to loop through every char in the input string to confirm they are a number.
4. I suggest
If(input.length() > 0) error = false
else print msg
OR
assume no errors before loop.
if(length() <1) error=true
else error = false
5. use the keyword "break". By that i mean set up your loop to be infinite loops, use the break operator under specified condition (error=false)
I didn't identify the error for you, but i'd say the above methods should help you with your problem

FBL5N - BSEG-REBZG values cause infinite loop FDM_COLL_INVOICE_GET_BY_REF

Hello,
We have a problem where function FDM_COLL_INVOICE_GET_BY_REF looks at BSEG records in a loop. It finds the next BSEG record by using the contents of BSEG-REBZG.
Unfortunately, some of our BSEG records point back to each other. We have the situation where BSEG "A" points to BSEG "B", and BSEG "B" points back to BSEG "A".
For example:
BSEG-BELNR 9100011111 -> REBZG = 9111122222
BSEG-BELNR 9111122222 -> REBZG = 9100011111
This data is causing the loop to execute infinitely as the exit conditions are never met.
I cannot find a SAP Note that addresses this issue. It looks like the code involved is related to items in Dispute and Part Payments.
Has anyone out there experienced this issue?
Many thanks,
Stuart.

What release are you on?
There is note 1105687 addressing the scenario when a credit memo is entered as an invoice reference in an invoice item which can cause such an infinite loop, but that note is only valid up to rel. 6.03
There is also note 919415 but it is for even older systems.
If you are on a current release, then creating an OSS message is your best bet.
It would be theoretically possible to have a recent release with some already posted documents that were entered before the patch fixing such endless loops were applied... how likely is to have such old documents is another question. SAP support should help you to clean up the problematic records if this is the case.

All my loops are present in the browser, but when I drag a sound over it doesn't match. With beats, I get no percussion sounds, just a basic 8-bit type sound.

I had a critical failure on my Mac and have slowly been rebuilding it, but Garageband just doesn't want to cooperate. This is actually a two-fold problem. First problem is; all of my loops are in my browser and when I click on one for a preview sound, it works fine. But, when I drag it into the project window I lose any the correct sound. They still have sound, but it will be a basic "blip, bloop" type 8-bit sound. This is namely with any kind of beats or percussion. Say I try to use a Trip Hop loop, all I get is the blips and bloops but no hi-hats, no snare, no kind of percussion sound at all.
Second problem: As I said before, all of my loops are correct in my loop browser, but they didn't seem to transfer over the MIDI sounds that I can usually choose from in the Track Info pane. It still only has the most basic sounds to choose from. Before, I had all the different MIDI sounds to choose from, such as Star Sweeper and the like, but those are all gone. I've tried to drag-and-drop into that pane but it won't let me.
I really hope that someone has an answer for this, I have a lot of projects I've been working on for a long time that are basically trash right now because I can't do anything with them.

Missing Instruments:
The pop-up menu at the top of the track info pane filters the instruments: Make sure it is set to "show all".
I am not sure at all about your drums, however. You do not drag your drum-loops to tracks with different instruments, do you?
What you describe, looks exactly like something where transposing the drum loops and shifting the notes. This would cause the beats to be mapped to different instruments. And this is not suposed to happen, when you set the key of your project or transpose the master track.
Does this happen only in your account, or also when you launch GarageBand form a diffrent user account? You might create a new account forr testing, to explore this.

Can I Merge Tracks with Garageband?

Hello there,
Mostly I like to use Reason when it comes to recording and mixing tracks but since buying the new Aluminum Macbook, which incorporates a music software package of its own, I thought I'd try a different approach. My problem, however, is that I cannot find a way of merging two tracks. Say for example I've placed a small drum loop in track one. I select it from the audition area and place it in the track area. Then, in order to configure the drum track further, and in order that I can mess around with it more, I place the same drum loop in track two: only this time, I edit it and shorten it down so that only a few beats are pronounced. At this point I would usually merge the tracks, thus making both track two and track one into a single track. But I do not know how to do this in Garageband. Can anyone tell me whether this is at all possible?

With reason I would record one track and one overdub. Then I would merge both tracks. When I use Garageband, the option to join track one with track two does not exist. I take it you are able to have a drum loop in track one, a drum loop in track two, and are able to combine both in a single instant. I merely highlight the regions as I would highlight text in a document. Is there a more serious issue with my copy of Garageband. It did come complimentary with my Macbook, as it does with every other Macbook.

Loop/Repeat on continuous

hey all,
I want to Loop/Repeat a audio track on continuous play. I've tried something like Audacity which would create the track 200 times and it would be 13hrs long (which would be generally how long I'd want the track to last in a loop) but this was too awkward because it would end up being about 7-8 GB file...which wasn't what I wanted, because I need it to go on a audio cd and played off a cd player/dvd player.
What I want.:
Audio track looped.
Track NOT massive in size.
To play on a cd/dvd.
-OR-
If anybody knows a way that I could do it through something like FCP/DvD Studio Pro or other video editing suites, and then burn to dvd - that would also be a great solution!

I don't think there's anyway around it. To burn a disc you need an audio file. The audio file is necessarily going to be big.
Perhaps you can find a cd player with a loop function.

F110S (payment run + DME creation) running for infinite time

Hi ABAP gurus,
I originally posted this question in ERP finicials but didn't get any response. If somebody has faced any similar issue please share the solution
A batch job schduled for "daily payment run + creation of DME files" using F110S (SAP ECC 6.0) . The batch is running in production for more infinite time.
The job runs in following 2 steps
1. SAPF110S which processes the payment clears FBL5N.
2. SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE.
The second step seems a non-ending process.
The job variant has only 15 customers, only one invoice is to be processed against one account.
However in quality system the same job with more than 10,000 customer account range with more than 10 invoices runs just in few minutes.
Any idea or suggestion why it's taking so long in production? Any missing configuration in production server?
==================
It's not performance issue. When we run F110S or F110 in production with individual login id, program runs the way it should and finishes in reasonable time (for example the scenario I described in question finsihes in few seconds).
The problem occurs only when production batch job runs with job scheduler; program seems looping somewhere for infinite time - to be particular it keeps reading the table TPRI_DEF which has just few records (must be reading this table inside a loop).
Thanks,
Satyaki.

Hello,
Since the issue seems still open, (status Not Answered), and since I encountered the same problem, here is the solution. Apparently, a printer must be defined either in OBPM4 (payment variant) or in user personal data (Menu System / User profil / Own data)
In Box 'Spool Control' / Filed 'OutputDevice', enter your default printer.
Once SAP report can determine Printer, program will stop to run endless.
Best regards

Create multiple looping videos on one DVD

My client wishes to have a DVD with multiple video selections on the menu and the option to have those videos loop when they are selected to play, so they will play endlessly until they choose another video. Evidently this is going to a trade show of sorts. Is there a script or a setting that will prevail on this matter. I know that on the main menu there are loop settings but not on tracks or have I missed something? Anyone with suggestions?

Myles:
Check this recent thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=810404
You can use stories to create normal and loop playback tracks without scripting.
Hope it helps !
