What is an audio loop?

An audio loop is a short segment of sound that is repeated continuously, creating a seamless audio background or rhythm. It can consist of musical phrases, sound effects, or any recorded audio, and is commonly used in music production, film scoring, and sound design. By looping audio, creators can build complex soundscapes or maintain a consistent atmosphere without the need for continuous recording. Loops are often utilized in digital audio workstations (DAWs) and live performances.
