I have a problem with loops.
My loops used to hold if I paused and restarted a track. This was very useful to me in my mixing and I was very happy with this function. I had to reinstall and I seem to have lost this functionality.
Previously I would play a track and say at 3:50 I start a 4 bar loop. If I pushed pause the loop (and track) stopped. If I pushed pause again it would return to the start of the track but keep the 4 bar loop ready at 3:50. (If I pushed pause three times it would clear the loop) It would not save the loop but rather hold it on the track until I cleared it by pushing pause three times.
If I then played the track from the start it would play through to 3:50 and go into the 4 bar loop. The wave in the Rhythm Window would appear faded out until it got to the loop and then it would appear brighter again. I could see this highlighted loop coming and drop a track or loop on another deck onto it perfectly
Now after reinstalling I can put a loop in but pausing once stops the loop/track but pushing it again clears the loop and returns me to the start of the track. The loop is lost.
It wasn't a script as I've not be using scripts and if it was an option I'd changed I cannot for the life of me remember what it was or indeed, find that option now.
The only thing I can do close to this is pause the track when I've looped it and then wind it back manually with the Virtual Turntable which is OK if the loop is at the start of a track but frustrating if the loop is at the end of the track.
I've seen a few posts about this as I've been searching the forums desperately for an answer but no one seems to be able to answer these posts.
I hope someone has an answer for me.

Open Config, go to Performances tab and check the "Safe Mode" checkbox.

Gosh! That simple! Thank you so much.

Well I just learned something! I thought safe mode increased latency to stop cracks and pops in audio on laptop sound cards!

I second this statement! I hope someone clarifies what 'safe mode' does...

Yes, that's what safe mode does (prevents audio from crackling by increasing latency somehow) and it DOESN'T work with ASIO.
However safe mode has a few "side-effects". One of them is the fact that loops won't "exit" automatically if you rewind the deck in a point before the loop-in point.
