At least I have not figured out how to do that, but I usually do this: - copy-paste the loop as many times as I need it on one track and then - record the other tracks. I just copy-paste the loop so many times that I have enough them to cover the entire song if I so prefer. I usually do this with drums because my mind is full of melodies, evolving pads etc. but when it comes to constructing a drum loop, I usually come up with something really boring. So what I do is that I use some boring loop while I am playing & recording the other tracks and then replace it with some more interesting loops I pick from my sample collection (I have several sample collections full of drum loops). Sometimes I may leave the boring loop in the background and sometimes I don't. Maybe I should someday learn to do non-boring drum loops by myself too...
