K3LA Horn File - length?

<< < (2/3) > >>

CPRail:
Hi Bill,

Thanks for the info. I'll have to ponder entering the world of sound editing without knowing a thing of what I'm doing. I eagerly await any tutorial on shortening the file length.

Until then, I'll have to figure out just the right amount of button pushing to get the proper length of horn.

I'm sure "testing" it on Bob's layout at his next op session would work, Mwah Hah Hah...

Alan:
Here ya go. The loop component edited to .92 seconds. Closest I could get to 1 sec without an abrupt transition.

Bill, if you deem it worthy move it to the Files section.

K3LAHorn_Loop_1sec.wav

For preview purposes here is the complete horn using the shortened loop:

William Brillinger:
Thanks Alan.

I don't want to diminish your effort, this is a good start, but here is what I see:



It seems to me that your file does not mate with the beginning or end very well which results in some funny sound artifacts.

Here's how I like to approach these kinds of looping sounds...

Alan:
Those transitions are present in the original hence why I preserved them. Your blue circled transitions are in the beginning and the end components respectively, not in the loop component.

William Brillinger:
Sorry Alan! 

I had already assumed that the points I circled were the divisions between the 3 files, but I had not done a composite of the original. My mistake.

Alan's file should get you going Ian! His short loop is about as good as the looping section from this file will get.

If I were going to rebuild this loop, would take the middle section and chop it up as a suggested to eliminate transitions between start, middle, and end for a little more seamless effect.
