What is loop recording?

Loop recording is a feature commonly found in audio recording software or equipment that allows for continuous recording and overdubbing without stopping. When a recording reaches the end of a specified time period or number of measures, it seamlessly loops back to the beginning and continues recording over the previous tracks.

This feature is commonly used by musicians for creating seamless tracks, by podcasters for easy editing and re-recording, and by videographers for capturing continuous footage. Loop recording can also be useful for capturing spontaneous ideas or improvisations without the need to constantly press record and stop.

Loop recording is often combined with other features such as auto punch-in/out, which allows for precise recording of specific sections within a loop. It is a valuable tool for creators looking to efficiently and creatively capture their work.
