Hi,

 

as a sound designer I often work with samples that have loop information stored into the file itself. What I have noticed is that WavePad is not able to read and display this information, compared to other audio editors. I'm attaching an example taken from WavePad and one from another free audio editor below:

 

Example 1:

Example 2:

Am I missing something? Maybe there is a way to see the Loop Points in WavePad too, but I'm unable to find it?

 

On a side note (for the developers), it would be very useful that the "Repeat Loop" function in WavePad would let the user decide if the whole audio sample or just the designated looping region should be repeated. I wish this feature to be added soon.

The issue with the loop information it may be because the metadata that holds the loop info is not compatible with Wavepad.

About the loop mode, you can actually select a portion of the whole audio file, go to Edit > Repeat Loop and you can select how many times you want to repeat the section selected.

Thanks for your reply Chris. Not sure how to find out what kind of metadata Wavepad is able to read. I exported the sample directly from my sampler (HALion by Steinberg), so I think it should be pretty standard format.

 

About the repeat loop: I was not aware about it, very helpful! A shame that this can't work in Batch mode though, as there's no way to select the region before.
