Track recording issue

Hi! I had asked this question before some months ago, however, if I'm not mistaken I never received a reply. Worked around it at the time. An idiot question? Perhaps. But issue has me stumped nonetheless. Here goes again.


Suddenly, without any obvious reason in my current project, when I record a track, a very brief one for instance, I discover I have a very long track in my window with my brief idea repeated ad infinitum (it seems), parsed with little notches in the track. I have no use for this feature in the manner in which I work. How do I disable? Must have triggered accidentally via keystrokes?


Thanks in advance!

If it looks like this,



it means you looped the region by pressing "L" key right afterwards (that's the default key command for looping regions).


To unloop, just select the recorded region and press "L" again. Alternatively, untick "Loop" for the selected region in the Inspector or right-click on the region and untick "Loop On/Off" setting:



You can also hover the mouse pointer anywhere over the top half of the looped region, until the pointer turns into a closing bracket with a circle with clockwise arrow to its right. That allows you to regulate loop length, so it doesn't go ad infinitum, by clicking with that bracket-arrow on a loop, like this:
