•
Set the start and end markers for the loop by dragging the marker handles or
press Shift and drag the audio before or after the loop end marker to adjust the
end or start position.
•
To automatically detect suitable loop start and end positions, click the Find
Previous Loop Start/End or Find Next Loop Start/End buttons.
The loop markers are set accordingly.
NOTE
The Loop Transition, Threshold, and Loop Score settings influence the marker
detection features.
Edit Loop
If Edit Loop is activated, the editor shows the looped region instead of the original sample
data. This is useful to fine-tune and adjust a loop. The waveform is updated to reflect the
result of your loop settings.
To better see how loop start and end are correlating, a part of the waveform is displayed
in blue on top of the loop. This part is taken from an area around the loop start (+/- the
loop length) and then shifted to the loop end. The better both waveforms correspond, the
smoother the sound of the loop.
Setting Up Loop Crossfades
Loop crossfades allow for smoother loops.
PROCEDURE
1. Activate Edit Loop on the toolbar.
Crossfade handles are displayed in the waveform display.
2. Click Sustain/Release Loop on the toolbar to select whether you want to edit the
sustain loop or the release loop.
3. Drag the crossfade handles or enter the crossfade range numerically in the parameter
section.
4. To see the effect of the crossfade, activate Show Resulting Loop Crossfade on the
toolbar.
The resulting waveform is displayed in red.
5. Adjust the crossfade curve by dragging the middle of the fade curve up or down.
Creating a Loop from the Selection
You can use a selection range as the basis for a loop.
PROCEDURE
1. Activate Play Selection Looped on the toolbar.
2. Click the Play Sample button on the toolbar.
3. Adjust the selection until you are satisfied with the loop.
