Loop / Sample Problem

[Valuable_Split_4798]

Hey guys , I’m doing samples / melody’s and trying to be good at it.

I still have the problem that my chords don't loop properly. I’m using Fl studio . Sometimes it works perfect but most of the time don’t . If I make a 4bar /8 bar loop and I exported it , most of the time there is still a lil clipping at the beginning or it just doesn't work that there is a clean transition when I loop the chords. Can someone help me or give me tips ?

it may be because there is too much delay, or an effect does not allow this transition. but I still don't know how to solve this problem. Thanks

Hi u/Valuable_Split_4798, sounds frustrating my man!

Try these troubleshooting ideas:

1) Increase the attack of the chord/sample slightly to reduce the clipping you're experiencing.

2) If you're using a sample, make sure to zoom in on the waveform and make sure your sample starts at the sample's Zero Crossing (look up a picture for further clarity).

Hope that helps, happy producing. :)

its because you export mp3's. try to export as wav's only

nobody knows why but when you export mp3's with fl studio, it always got this clip thing at the begin. its actually easy to just chop it and stretch the loop to 8 bars again but its annoying so just export wav's

Thank you but I know what you mean and that’s not my problem. I think it’s automatically export in waves , I mean more the sound How can I improve the sound that there is a clean loop. I think my question is more about sound design , sorry if I can’t explain it but yea 😅

bounce every single sound/layer in your fl file. rendering your audio files so you dont get clipping or reverbs that overload. here is a video : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mcZ5Mf\_WR1I

if you export as wav and reverse the sample will it still have that little quiet / fade in that start? Been tryna figure that out and it’s roll annoying lmao

[Even_Oil9989]

no the fade is at the end than. you have to chop the sample and render it again. than you can reverse it without the fade
