Forum: Mix lessons - Topic: shift loop and loop length

hello what is the shift loop and loop length that is near the loop buttons?
what happens if i change them?

Lets say you make an 8 beat Smart Loop. Shift loop will take the "smart loop" and magically move the 8 beat loop in the track with which the action is mapped to. As for Loop Length will alter the 8 beat smart loop slightly (7.5 or 8.5 beats for example). Why is this nice? The smart loop is based on VDJs CBGs and some tracks drift, for a lack of a better term.

Clear as mud? Hope this helps a bit...

how do you loop length? I would be interested in knowing this tip :). thkx.
