Export clean loop with custom crossfade
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 8:12 pm
Hi everyone,
Working in sound design, I regularly need to build and export loops of ambient or environmental sound. I typically custom build a loop using multiple tracks by copying and pasting into another track, then cross fade the two. (I can be more specific if need be).
I recently realized how perfect the loop feature is in Sampler - it allows you to cross-fade the loop with itself and specify loop start and end points. Is it possible to just do this in the arrange view within a clip? Or maybe there is a M4L plugin someone has built to do this?
Or if this isn't possible, maybe the Ableton team would be interested in adding this feature to the next version?
Basically the final product needs to be a loop that I can bring into another software (Qlab in this case), and it will loop seamlessly - and I have specified where and for how long it cross-fades within itself.
thanks!
Nick
