Beating the Loop - Page 3

Possible Variations

• Now you need to create 2 keyframes for each variation of your loops. In this tutorial, I create 8 variations, and this is how they are laid out:
  
  

As you can see, you can make up to about 72 different permutations with these 6 small loops. Again these loops don't have to be the same length (or duration), but they have to play at the same speed. Now back to the keyframes:

• Why 2 keyframes: The first keyframe is to set the previous sound file to stop before starting to play the next one. The second keyframe contains the actual sound as a Start event.
• Still in that first keyframe, go to the Sound tab and add the appropriate sound for that layer (if your on layer 1, add your sound 1). Make it a Stop event.
• In each second keyframe for each pair of keyframe, set the sound you want to play (one per layer) to Start Event and make it loop 999 times, putting a STOP action in the Action tab.
• Repeat this operation for each layer.
• Insert a new layer and drag it to the top. Create a keyframe for every keyframe on the other layers. So for each first keyframe of each pair of keyframes (where the stop sound event happens), insert a label for that loop (You can call it Loop1, Loop2, Loop3, etc.)
