I can load sample files into Ardour (but can't line them up without

pixel-precision accuracy with the mouse ...) apply fx etc but I'd like

to select a section of a track and listen to it over and over (applying

fx, listen for mistakes etc) - Ardour does not have this facilty.  I'd

like : select a section, play, tweeek just that section without having

to press play over and over again.

All windows audio apps have this facillty :)
How do people here edit your tracks - do you place the start point

somewhere, press play, listen, press stop, put the start point back,

press play, listen ... seems odd to me.  Even my old Yamaha QY-10 had a

loop facility, and my cassette tape portastudio had one!
