NOTE: The best way to edit the in and out points of a manual loop is with the jog wheel/platter on your Numark N4. Simply hit the LOOP IN or LOOP OUT button, depending on which end of the loop you want to adjust, and then rotate the platter to set the in or out point. NOTE: You can also save a loop to the next available free loop slot in the software. To do this, either click the button in the manual/auto loop tab or click on an available loop slot. Your loops are saved to the file and recalled the next time it is loaded. They are not lost if the file is moved or renamed.
