EDIT PROGRAM /

**** NOTES REGARDING CONVERT -L/-R ****

The process is looking for identically matching pairs.

Because it is not possible to have separate start and end times of left and right loop points in

an interleaved stereo sample, both samples have to have identical settings. This is normally

the case with stereo samples as any difference in start times, loop length or position will result

in the stereo imaging being inaccurate.

If the process finds a stereo pair of samples that do not match exactly, you will receive the

following prompt:

You should press OK and identify those samples that do not match and make the necessary

adjustments.

Alternatively, you can try again but this time switch OVERIDE to ON (i.e. checked ). This will

run the process but will automatically copy the parameters from the left channel to the right

channel. Please note, however, that this may upset the loop on the right channel which may

cause clicks or other loop related glitches. In this case, you are advised to re-loop the new -S

stereo sample created by the process.

It must be said that this function assumes that the original sample editing was done in ‘stereo’

and so, to preserve stereo phase coherency, start times of the left and right channels should

be the same as should loop start and end times. If, however, some ‘mono’ editing was done on

each ‘leg’ of the stereo sample by the original programmer (which, ideally, it shouldn’t have!),

the success of this function cannot be guaranteed.
