Groove clip looping question

[treesha]

Say I have an audio beat that is long and cut out 1 measure of it, then paste it to a new track in the same project. Next I want to extend it using it as a groove clip. I right click and choose groove clip looping, or go into clip properties - groove clip and check the box "loop" and I get this message "Hidden data beyond slip edit points will be discarded. Continue?" If I continue the one measure beat changes appearance and has the rounded edges, but it is now well over 1 measure, say 1 and 1/4 measure so its not usable. I usually wind up doing pasting with the original clip it but maybe its time to ask how to deal with this. Thanks

Don't forget to set your grid to whole measures, so you don't accidentally select  an unwanted duration.

Thanks, yes it is set to whole measures so I can cut it right.

This is because the program could not figure out the beat count. The "Beats in Clip" may be fixed in the clip inspector in the Groove Clip section or in the Loop Construction view.
