Thanks Quentin,

That was very helpful. I was trying to click on one of those marker bars 
to set the beginning and the end, but of course that didn't work for the 
"Loop/Punch Ranges". I can still mark on another bar and then set the 
loop range with the click and drag.

Very cool tip about retakes. I certainly need them:( I was wanting to 
give some drum and bass tracks to a guitarist friend. The drums were 
fine with Hydrogen, but I could never get all the way through a song 
without some annoying mistake. It seems to be a lot easier to play with 
people than with a computer. One of these days none of it will bother 
me, I'm sure, but your tip will help me a lot!

Cheers!
