none that i know about: this is rather arbitrary in the general sense and context, whatever

do you know of any "smart" software or algorithm that provides this feature? i sincerely doubt it's feasible, either musically or even scientifically or technically.

you can of course detect beat onsets, specially for high-energy transients or percussive stems or samples and that might indeed help to designate potential loop (or slice) points, but you, the human in the process, have to provide at least a fixed target or desired time-signature and a number of bars or measures in the first place anyhow--so long it goes for "automatic loop detection" :)

in summary you just don't "detect loops" but you can detect "beats" alright and proceed accordingly as for desired musical rhythm.

hth.
cheers

ps. incidentally, insider speaking re. Clip > Tempo Adjust... feature: it's been there for quite some time, though not really a definite solution for anything but an hack (i'm sure it raised too many WTF's before)... mind you, it is, has been and still is, for the whole sake of it indeed, related to this (onset/beat-detection) very topic!

so please, stay tuned, there will be news in this regard, probably targeted on this next v0.9.9 :)
