Tip: Taper the ends of sounds before
splicing to avoid clicks or pops at the splice

they fall on positive zero-crossing points in
the waveform.

1. Taper
Taper allows you to create an artificial decay on percussion samples in
which the original decay is absent, create an artificial fast attack on a
sound (such as a bowed violin with a slow attack), or clean up back-
ground noise when editing dialog. The diagram above shows the effect
of Taper gain and attenuation on a sample using the Linear and Exp 3
curves.
