Music loops are sections of a song that repeat for a certain length of time. Many music producers create loops of instrumental pieces or take loops from a section of a recorded song and use it to make a new piece of music. This is called sampling. With the right tools and a lot of patience you can take any song or any section of a song and create a loop with it.
- Open the music editing software and load into it the song you want to use for a loop. There are a number of programs you can use, including Audacity and Adobe Audition. Audacity is a free program; Adobe Audition is not.

Step 5
Listen to the loop and make sure it runs smoothly from start to finish. If there is excess noise or music parts you don’t want in the loop, highlight that portion and press “Delete.” Once you have the loop the way you want it, it in your “My Music” folder.
