Viewing loop amplitude 
The sample amplitude at the loop’s start and end points appears in the lower-right corner of the Loop Tuner. 
End Loop Amplitude 
Start Loop Amplitude 
Although it is dependent on the specific waveform, a good rule of thumb is that the closer these two amplitude values are, the more 
natural the resulting loop sounds. 
Finding zero-crossings 
The Loop Tuner’s zero-crossing finders are used to locate zero-crossings adjacent to the current loop tag location. 
Loop End Zero-Crossing Right 
Loop End Zero-Crossing Left 
Loop Start Zero-Crossing Right 
Loop Start Zero-Crossing Left 
The Loop Tuner contains two zero-crossing finders for each of the loop points. 
•  
The left button in each pair locates the zero-crossing to the left of the current location. 
•  
The right button in each pair locates the zero-crossing to the right of the current location. 
To use the finders, click the desired button. By experimenting with different locations and repositioning the start and end points, you 
can create seamless loops. You can also configure the zero-crossing finders to locate positive slope crossings, negative slope crossings, 
or all zero-crossings. 
Configuring the zero-crossing finders 
1.  
From the Options menu, choose Preferences. The Preferences dialog is displayed. 
2.  
Click the Editing tab. 
3.  
From the Snap to zero-crossing slope drop-down list, choose the desired slope and click OK
Fine-tuning loop points 
You can use the Loop Tuner to fine-tune loop points in three ways: 
•  
To move loop points by small amounts, use the Loop Start Position and Loop End Position arrow spinners. Clicking the up or down 
arrow increments the loop point by one sample. 
•  
To move loop points by larger amounts, use the mouse to drag the spinner up or down. 
•  
To move loop points by very large amounts, use the mouse to drag the ruler at the top of the Loop Start or Loop End display. 
Click the arrow spinners to 
Drag the ruler to move
