I never got on well with Sound Forge, this looks great - (broken link removed) - shame it's only on Mac
Check out Endlesswav and loop auditioneer, might save you a lot of timeBack in the old days, I think I was on Windows 95, Sound Forge was the only software I could actually create loops with. Finding the loop points was rather painstaking, but I always managed to make it happen.
Now days with Reaper, I can make loop points in a mater of minutes that are nearly perfect, if not perfect. Well let me clarify that a little bit, if the sample is decaying, then measures have to be taken to adjust the amplitude, but then that has to be done anyways. It don't work for all instruments, but most, solo instruments can present a problem.
I might add, what I'm doing can be done in any DAW and you might already be doing it.
https://www.bjoernbojahr.de - might want to run it through Google translateThanks David, googling I got no where with Endlesswav, but loop auditioneer looks interesting, I'll check it out tomorrow.

In 10 minutes I could easily do 50-100 samples in EndlessWav - I only use Reaper to take the samples that I've applied loops to and copy them perfectly onto other mic positions. I also have a trick for batch applying a crossfade to the samples inside Kontakt which I can share if this is something that's useful to you... btw don't use the crossfade feature in EndlessWav, it doesn't add a Kontakt readable crossfade it just kind of dips the volume of the sampleI want to thank you again David, I finally got the "Endlesswav" to work. I had a hard time understanding the translation. I also downloaded the "loop auditioneer", but need to dig into that a little more.
I did a little test today, using my own way of doing it in Reaper. I managed to get perfect loops on 6 stereo samples in a little less that 10 minutes. That was just to get the loops set up. Maybe Endlesswav can do them faster, if and when I totally understand the process.
Since I've got regions setup for the loop points, I need to come up with a quick way of saving them.
Tell me more about this script... :DI use soundforge, with an autohotkey script -- can do a whole set of 20-30 chromatic samples in a minute or so. Select nearly at random with a mouse click & drag; auto cross fade the loop; save; close. Kontakt 5 picks up the samples and recognizes the loops. Done.
I use soundforge

Ah this sounds cool, I can probably use this with EndlessWav tooAutohotkey is a simple thing: it can reduce a series of key presses or mouse moves to a single keystroke .. no magic involved. I usually map a sequence of things to one of the (windows) keypad keys. So: set loop range is done with the mouse, visually, then create loop, crossfade, save, next is the AHK script. Reduces to look at screen, swipe with mouse, tap #1 on keypad; look at screen, swipe, tap; look, swipe, tap; etc.
Edit -- all this, done within SoundForge, after opening a folder full of individual wav files with already tuned samples of the correct length...
I do have another question David, what are the quality of the loops, are they flawless?

This video I made might be useful for you
If you really want to use Loop Auditioneer then you could download the source code and compile it yourself (I had to do this for my OS).Quite a nice explanation - and certainly extremely helpful. I might be able to entirely skip the Reaper part of it as I've got no plans to construct any bigger libraries atm, just some fun stuff for myself. But that LoopAuditioner sure looks like a nifty program.
However, the caveat being that I'm on OSX and there only seem to be Windows and Linux versions. Now, I may install a VM again, but uhm, after switching from OSX10.8 to High Sierra just recently, I hoped I was done with the VM business... But then, LoopAuditioner and the Björn Bojahr stuff might make me think about it again.
