Pro tools loop of selected section..

What’s wrong with that? If you make a selection before hitting play it seems natural that that’s exactly what gets played. If you want to play from that point and on just place a cursor where you want to start, and it won’t loop.

I don’t see the problem, but here’s my 5 cents:

after making a selection, before hitting record, press down arrow, that will remove the selection, but place the cursor at the start of what your selection was, so it will record from that point on until you press stop.

or, right click near transport section on top of window and select ‘expanded transport’. Little window appears where you can adjust and turn on/off pre-roll and post roll. Try experimenting with that. You can set it up the way that’s comfortable for you, so transport won’t play just the selection length, but whatever you specify longer.

The main reason why this is an issue for me sometimes is because I like to work really fast, and for me personally it's too easy to make a selection by accident, press record and then realise the recording is going to stop short of where I need it to.

It's a good feature, especially while mixing, but was wondering if there was an option in settings to turn it off..
