Viewing loop amplitude
The sample amplitude at the loop’s start and end points appears in the lower-right corner of the Loop Tuner.
End Loop Amplitude
Start Loop Amplitude
Although it is dependent on the specific waveform, a good rule of thumb is that the closer these two amplitude values are, the more
natural the resulting loop sounds.
Finding zero-crossings
The Loop Tuner’s zero-crossing finders are used to locate zero-crossings adjacent to the current loop tag location.
Loop End Zero-Crossing Right
Loop End Zero-Crossing Left
Loop Start Zero-Crossing Right
Loop Start Zero-Crossing Left
The Loop Tuner contains two zero-crossing finders for each of the loop points.
•
The left button in each pair locates the zero-crossing to the left of the current location.
•
The right button in each pair locates the zero-crossing to the right of the current location.
To use the finders, click the desired button. By experimenting with different locations and repositioning the start and end points, you
can create seamless loops. You can also configure the zero-crossing finders to locate positive slope crossings, negative slope crossings,
or all zero-crossings.
Configuring the zero-crossing finders
1.
From the
Options
menu, choose
Preferences
. The Preferences dialog is displayed.
2.
Click the
Editing
tab.
3.
From the
Snap to zero-crossing slope
drop-down list, choose the desired slope and click
OK
.
Fine-tuning loop points
You can use the Loop Tuner to fine-tune loop points in three ways:
•
To move loop points by small amounts, use the
Loop Start Position
and
Loop End Position
arrow spinners. Clicking the up or down
arrow increments the loop point by one sample.
•
To move loop points by larger amounts, use the mouse to drag the spinner up or down.
•
To move loop points by very large amounts, use the mouse to drag the ruler at the top of the
Loop Start
or
Loop End
display.
Click the arrow spinners to
Drag the ruler to move
