Subject:This wav loop format - Help Posted by: Neolee Date:8/7/1999 1:51:00 AM I have a bunch of loop CDs which I don't know how to use using ACID. These contain wav loops with seconds of silence between each section. i.e. there are around 70 wavs on each CD and each one is some 10 MBs (1 minute) long, and each wav file has a number of loops each seperated by a second or two of silence. The bpm is not mentioned. I don't have a sampling machine. How can I use the loops? I have soundforge, ACID Pro and cakewalk. Manually chopping each wav file into the seperate loops using SoundForge is an option but it's going to take too long that way, and may not be very accurate.

I have a bunch of loop CDs which I don't know how to use
using
ACID. These contain wav loops with seconds of silence
between each
section. i.e. there are around 70 wavs on each CD and each
one is some 10
MBs (1 minute) long, and each wav file has a number of
loops each seperated
by a second or two of silence. The bpm is not mentioned. I
don't have a
sampling machine.

How can I use the loops? I have soundforge, ACID Pro and
cakewalk. Manually
chopping each wav file into the seperate loops using
SoundForge is an option
but it's going to take too long that way, and may not be
very accurate. And
I don't want to waste that much time either.

Here's a sample of a loop wav file I've converted to mp3
and uploaded for

These are great loops and I hate to see them
lying around unused after I waited so long for them.

(The friend who sold these to me said he has another bunch
in AKAI format if
I can use them).

If your loops are great you wil have to work on them.
Use sound forge to extract loops, and than ACID to acidize them.
You will need some kind of instrument ( keyboard or a guitar )
to check the key of loops and a rytham machine will be helpfull
to check BPM.

If you do not have time you can pay somebody to process them,
anyway it will take a long time.
