Looping a region in BandLab creates seamless, repeating playback of a specific audio or MIDI region, allowing you to extend its duration continuously without manual copying and pasting.
The Cycle Bar lets you loop a selected area repeatedly during playback or recording. This is helpful if you would like to listen to a specific area or record multiple takes of a performance. When Cycle is enabled, playback and recording will always begin at the cycle's starting point.
