RE: Repeater Synch Workaround.

["Tim Goodwin" <deepbass6@earthlink.net>]

I think the actual beginning and end points of the WAV file are a direct
function of when record is pressed (which would explain variations in
length).  But the track length is also a function of LPA which incorporates
the selected or sync'd tempo to calculate trim points which blend the start
and stop points into a more 'musical/user-friendly loop'.

As soon as the recording is ended, the playback that we hear is an altered
WAV file - not the true WAV file length.  It doesn't seem to be possible to
listen to the actual non-LPA'd WAV on the Repeater, even when I tweak the
trim and trim cut functions.  It wasn't until I started messing around with
the WAVs on my PC that I noticed how much different they sound than what I
could monitor on the Repeater.  There is a gap at the end of each WAV that
breaks up the continuity of the loop when played back in ACID Xpress and
n-Track.

Huh, that's really interesting.  If the tracks are all the same length, and
uncompressed .wav files, I wonder why they'd be different sizes.  I'm going
to
take tomorrow off and give it a closer look myself.
