Neutrino provides an interface for defining millisecond-accurate virtual loops associated with an individual audio file. When Loop mode is active, playback of the associated track will be constrained to the region defined between the loop’s start and end times. Loop settings are automatically saved from session-to-session. Loops can also be exported in a wide variety of common audio formats, including AIF, AAC, MP4, M4A, WAV, SND, AU & CAF.
To create a new loop, first begin playing an iTunes or Neutrino playlist Track, then click on the Loop button in the toolbar and a new loop will be defined for the track. When Loop mode is active, a blue bar fills the space between the in and out markers for the current track. Areas outside the playable area are shaded.
Note: If you make changes to the in or out points of an iTunes playlist item, or to any of its parameters, those changes will be saved, along with a clone of the track, when you next quit Neutrino. The altered tracks will be added to the bottom of the Neutrino Loops playlist in the Source list. Your loop information is stored within this new reference to the track; the original track remains unchanged.
New loops encapsulate the whole track... use the small triangle markers (under the main transport slider) to define the desired loop start and end points.

Numeric values of loop in and out points can be fine-tuned using the stepper controls beside the ‘in’ and ‘out’ detail fields, or by entering values directly into the fields themselves.
To start playing a loop, switch to Loops mode and double-click on a Loops track entry.
