Loop Section

[beatamatriz]

The use case is too specific so it's might not be relevant at all. It should be an extension of the current /loop command. Here's the idea:

Command /loop would allow the user to give 2 extra parameters: begin_timestamp and end_timestamp, looping the track section given by these two timestamps. Optionally, a 3rd parameter could be added to specify the amount of repetitions.

This idea came to mind while using EarTensifier as a background music player for D&D, where sometimes it's only interesting to loop a specific section of a song. Surely this can be done with the /seek command, but it would be neat to automate this.

By the way, if anyone else is looking for a solution like this, there is a workaround:

1. You'll need the audio file of the track you want a section to be looped from. If you don't own the rights of reproduction and transformation of it, well too bad 😞.
2. Trim the section you desire with any audio or video editing tool.
3. Use the already existing command /file and add the track to the queue. You can do this in two ways:
   3.1. As an attachment, considering the file size limit (which is from 8 MiB to 500 MiB with Nitro), you just drag and drop.
   3.2. As a link. You'll need to host the file somewhere, either self-hosted or using a third party hosting site; making sure the size limit is well suited for your needs.
4. Loop this new sectioned track as usual with the /loop command and optionally you can have the original track next on the queue for a Da Capo Al Fine effect.
