Hi everyone !

I have a short 5 second segment of audio on my timeline, I do not want to use remix. I want to just copy and paste this 5 seconds of audio over and over again until I have about 5 minutes total.  I have tried to copy and paste, - this works great, but it only works a single time. Doing it again doesn't do anything.  

Thanks for any help !

You have to bear in mind that this is fundamentally a looped file, not a looped clip. Usually the way to deal with the anomalies of this is to take your looped section that's the length you want and convert it to a unique copy. You can move this around without issue - and of course loop the unique copy separately, which will of course be a rather longer loop.

Assuming that this is in Audition... the way to do this is to convert your file to a loop file in Properties>Basic Settings and put a check in the Loop box. Your file will now have a little loop icon on the left of it, and if you drag out the far end, you'll find that it will repeat - as many times as you want. (Alt+Drag won't work)

Did you try ALT+Drag for copying?
