I've got an ace sample, and there is a part of it I wish to loop, however when I try it with Edison, theres a damn "T T T T T T" whenever it loops. Whats the best way to extend the sound through looping, without getting that damn clicking start? (I tried the "declicking" thing in the FL sampler, however I didnt hear any difference) Cheeers! __ --- My Soundcloud --- Jeffijoe - Distance EP [CrossBase] 04-08-2011 17:10 Impact Wicked Producer Registration Date: 29-08-2010 Posts: 439 Helpfulness rating:  can you have an envelope line/curve to fade out each clip/event ever so slightly? I use this basic technique a lot in presonus studio one and it works a treat. __ Quality DNB clothing Co founder of Instinct Audio ImpactMastering: Affordable Digital Mastering/Mixing service 04-08-2011 17:49 ogenic old skool fools with new skool tools Registration Date: 25-08-2008 Posts: 160 Helpfulness rating:  zero cross check? or zoom in and find a smoother loop point. Some type of samples are never going to loop seamlessly. You can try what impact says and in some cases this is the ideal. I'd move the start loop point slightly left if it clicks more move it right. You should be able to see a "click" in the wave by the shape, try scrolling in and out to see the change of the shape of the wave. __ OGENIC 04-08-2011 18:08 jeffijoe xSky Registration Date: 15-06-2009 Posts: 241 quote: Originally posted by Impact can you have an envelope line/curve to fade out each clip/event ever so slightly?

I tried doing that (with FL's in/out knobs in the sampler which has the same effect, but it didnt do it. :S __ --- My Soundcloud --- Jeffijoe - Distance EP [CrossBase] 04-08-2011 19:23 ogenic old skool fools with new skool tools Registration Date: 25-08-2008 Posts: 160 Helpfulness rating:  Do it in Edison. zoom right in on the loop points, highlight to the right and fade in on the 1st point, highlight left and fade out out on the second. __ OGENIC 04-08-2011 20:27 jeffijoe xSky Registration Date: 15-06-2009 Posts: 241 quote: Originally posted by ogenic Do it in Edison. zoom right in on the loop points, highlight to the right and fade in on the 1st point, highlight left and fade out out on the second. Tried this - I gave up though, as the result is not "fluid" enough. __ --- My Soundcloud --- Jeffijoe - Distance EP [CrossBase] 04-08-2011 21:39 BattleDrone 2161... the future.

I do simple sample editing on audacity, its free and its good for waveforms. Have you tried EQing, or looping it forward-backward? __ CtMc 21-08-2011 03:44 Puzzle ..zebra?

It has some wicked looping possibilities, try fiddling with it. __ SoundCloud Facebook YouTube 21-08-2011 11:25 drumnbass.be forum » Production » Production questions & answers » Looping a small bit of a sample for a string
