Tip: IIf you notice a timbral shift during
the crossfade, try increasing the loop length
so that the timbral shift is spread out over
more time.

Crossfade Looping
The ESI fades between the beginning and end of the loop so that as the
end fades out, the beginning fades in. This virtually eliminates the clicks
and pops that can occur with other types of looping.
Source Data
Loop Start
Crossfade Looping takes sound data from around the loop start point and fades it into the sound data
around the loop end point so that the data at those loop points is identical. In the example above, a
sine wave is crossfaded with silence to illustrate the process.
Crossfade looping is very effective with complex ensemble sounds which
can be virtually impossible to loop otherwise. In most cases, even the
most complex sounds can be looped without any clicks or pops. Bear in
mind, however that crossfade looping actually changes the sample data.
You may want to keep a backup of your raw sample data in case the loop
is not satisfactory.
