"So now we have our basic drum beat in, but the problem is this only a measure. Now I want to add a base line, but my base line takes up four measures, so what you are go to do is your are going to go to "menu" and you click menu. You want to go to "T-edit" right there, on mine it is under "R.P.P.R", you hit "T-edit, open" and all your tracks will come up. So I have track one, two, three and four, so I am going to go track one and I hit "utility" measure one for one, track one, one to one, first measure. Now when you hit ok, all these different effects come up that you can do to that track, you can "quantize it", which means make all the beats even or you can insert measures, you can erase the track, rename the track, but I am going to go to "copy measure", and I hit ok. It says, ?copy from song zero, zero, zero" which is the song we are on, track one, and we are doing measure one to one. Then I want to copy it to song "zero, zero, zero", same song, track one and I want to copy it to "measure two". Now I hit ok and I have two measures of my base, so now I am going to go and hit utility and copy measures one and two, so I have those two measures, then I am going to copy it to three and that will give me four measures, right? So I do that, now I have four measures, so now I can hit "exit" and when I go to "preference, loop all tracks" I can go "loop track one to four" and now I will have four measures of base. Notice, I only have base because I have not done it to the other ones, but I am going to do that, there is no need to go through that process. But you can use this process and we are going to do it, we will do it for all four tracks, you will hear in our next track as we go through and record our base. We will have four straight measures of our group."
