Creating a seamless drum loop

tinkerboy

I exported some drum beats from EZdrummer2. In MSC I selected the first point in the wave file to place the start point and the last to put the end point....but there is a lag in the playback. Its not one continuous beat. A seamless loop plays in EZdrummer but I can't create on in Music Speed Changer. Am I missing something? I've always had a problem creating seamless loops creating drum patterns.

There may be padding at the start and/or end of a file. If you can export 3x repeats of the loop and capture the middle one with A and B, it should be seamless. You can enable the Beat syncing feature for loop and marker points in Settings to make it very easy. Here's a video:

Manually editing A/B Loop Points

The above will satisfy most applications. If you need custom control over setting and editing the start and the end loop points precisely down to the milli second, see here: https://musicspeedchanger.com/forum/discussion/356/setting-and-editing-a-b-loop-points

Adjusting the B point time to trim the silence at the end of a file

Note most of the time it is easier using a file meant for looping than it is trimming extra pauses at beginning and end!
