  1. Wow. This tool has a lot of features built in. I use Ableton … and this was able to add addition clip edit for my samples that I can't seem to easily do in Ableton (silence parts of loops, cut parts, loop fade outs, etc …). Works well in Windows 7, albeit with a Unix/ Mac feel.

  7. Hmmm wonder if it has issues with acidized wav's or not. It seemed to open my one-shots fine, but any time I tried to open any part of my loop collection it would state unrecognized file format, even though they are all wav

  13. My native tongue is French. I can't shake my accent. I have Been in the U.S. 12 + years. That said, i haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was like i was double translating what he was saying. Of course i am talking about part one of that tutorial.
    For quick wave edit and small impact on my system Wavosaur is still my little classic app. No doubt this app looks very good.

    Great jobs
