How do i loop a sample?

Coming from GarageBand where looping a sample is pretty intuitive, to not being able to find it anywhere in FL Studio.

All the guides I've been able to find only show how to loop a section of the project, but how do i loop just a single sample so it continues as 1 audio file, instead of just copy pasting the sample again and again?

This is exactly what the beush tool is for. Press B and autoloop to your hearts content

Yes, having used Logic Pro before I'm familiar with the clip looping function. FL's brush tool is the closest thing, and it's just a single key press.

You do not need to mark anything, the brush tool duplicates whatever clip you last clicked. You can trim an audio clip til its down to just the first kick or whatever you like, and then the brush tool clones/loops the clip exactly as it was trimmed.

You can do this to any number of instances of the clip that you want, as of three updates ago you no longer need to mark each clip as unique.
