Copy Region without existing loops?

[dickie_uk]

This is probably a very specific use case, but while constructing / arranging a track on a current project, I often find that I need to replicate an existing region (which is already looped) to later in the same track, but with a different or preferably no-loops.

Is there a way to cmd+something and drag just a region to just copy the source region without the existing loops? Thanks!

No, your best bet is to Option-drag to make a copy, then press L to turn the loops off. 

If that affects other regions because you work in No Overlap mode, then you can:

1. Select the original region,
2. Press L to turn off the loops,
3. Press Command-C to copy the region,
4. Press Z to re-enable the loops,
5. Position the playhead,
6. Press Command-V to paste the region.

Thanks David - that's pretty much what I'm doing at the moment.  I've also been keeping a dedicated 'palette' track where I have the 'un-looped' versions that I can copy from , but thanks for clarifying I'm not missing something obvious!
