Do you want to hear that part again, practice the solo a few hundred times or just play along to a cool groove for an hour? Looping allows you to focus on a section of the song you are working on. You can repeat any region of a song to listen carefully or to practice along.
There are several features that apply to loops including AutoLoop, PlayNext and the Loop Trainer.
Reveal loop controls:
On iPhone: Tap the (or
) Mode Selector and select
Loop Mode.
On iPad: Tap
Loop sliders
The A and B sliders are displayed with the Loop Controls are activated. Drag these in the song view or the zoomed view windows to set the start and end of a loop.
The time appears above the A/B slider handle in the waveform when they are selected or dragged. Dragging the slider to the edge of the screen scrolls the zoomed view. Tap the slider to move the playhead to the slider.
Tap the A or B button to move the corresponding slider to the current playhead position and thebutton to reset the sliders back the start and end of the song.
Use the wave form to help position the sliders in a valley for a smoother loop.

When you enable AutoLoop, the A and B sliders (loop start and end) will automatically move to the marks immediately surrounding the Playhead.

Fine Adjustments

Make fine adjustments while the loop is playing and slow down the tempo to get it just right.

Once you have good loop (say 8 bars), the loop adjustments allow you to move it through the song. Start at the beginning and work through the song, or start with eight bars and then practice sixteen and then thirty-two.
Loop Delay 
Add a delay between loops. The Loop Delay button cycles through three values:
![]() |
Off | No delay. |
![]() |
On | Delay the number of seconds configured in Settings before starting the loop again. |
![]() |
Loop | Delay a time equal to the length of the loop. |
A Loop Delay count down timer is displayed to show you when the loop will start.
Change the delay time in
Settings > Durations:
![]() |
Loop Delay | The length of delay (silence) before repeating a loop when loop delay is enabled |
"Step-It-Up" trainer

Use the Step-It-Up Trainer to automatically change the tempo (or pitch) after each (loop) iteration. You set the starting and ending values for tempo and pitch, choose the number of “Steps”, the number of times a step repeats and the behaviour when it is all done.
Start slow and speed up the tempo to practice and master any section of a song. Use the music as a backing track or play along to master a difficult solo. Build up to 1.5X the speed so you can kill it on stage.
