I am editing an audio file. Need to play around with equalizer settings and I want to set an IN & OUT point (which I have already done on the timeline), but now how do I get the timeline to loop between my IN/OUT points so that I can play with my EQ settings?

    Correct answer Richard M Knight

    If you open up the 'add button' editor for the program monitor you will find a 'loop' button

    Thank you for your help, guys. I don't have a 'plus' symbol on my version of the Program Monitor, but was able to see the wrench icon. Under the menu of the wrench icon, I can see I had to select 'Loop'. Once I did that, I was able to loop between my IN/OUT points using CTL+L (loop shortcut). Exactly what I needed :-)

    If you check Show Transport Controls you will see your buttons (and the + sign) again.

    Hit the + sign on the right and the box will open, now drag the buttons into the transport control area.

    When buttons are added hit OK.

    Next hit the Loop button to make it active (blue).


    Cool beans! I see my problem was I was CLICKING, when adding buttons to my panel is done by DRAGGING. Thanks a ton, Ann! I'm playing with my audio file now and loving the ability to loop between IN/OUT points. You're the best.

    You control that in the Program Monitor ... you can say add the "Loop" icon to the icon controls in your Program Monitor Panel by 1) clicking the + in the lower right corner then 2) dragging the Loop icon to a spot on your Program Monitor controls section and click on it during playback, then going to the timeline or audio controls and working away.

    Or ... while the Program monitor is highlighted with an in/out selected, it's Ctrl/Cmd-L to have it play a loop of the in/out selection. A simple keyboard short.

      Click the + sign in the lower right of the Program Monitor.  You'll call up some extra icons you can add to your panel under the monitor.  One of them is the Loop switch.
