Loops—repeating snippets of music—appear in just about every musical setting imaginable. From chart-topping pop songs to jazz standards to industrial goth metal, loops can add extra groove to music tracks. By using loops, you can quickly create royalty-free music for backing tracks, video soundtracks, compositions, improvisations, radio spots, and more. You’ll soon find that they’re a powerful resource for creating your own music without having to play a single instrument.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use two of the thousands of premade loops that come with Adobe® Audition™, as well as how to make your own loops.
