Cut audio before first loop (feature request) #11
Description
Activity
and it's mildly confusing why this is often explicitly excluded in this type of software.
LoopAuditioneer was written with the goal to aid sample processing for GrandOrgue sample sets where the attack part (before the loop) is essential. From the historic GO point of view there wouldn't be any sense in removing the attack part of the sample as no fade in is performed on the sample.
That said, it's fairly easy to implement this feature as a another batch process so I'll try remember to do that with the next release.
Potentially just making the one where you can cut from the end of the last loop to cue can be made more generic? and be configured by used for start to first cue / start of first loop, or similar.
There are already different options to remove "un-used" sample data between last loop and cue, exporting file up to last loop as a separate attack/sustain file, as well as export cue to end of file as separate release. (This can be done either to overwrite the file(s) or better yet to create copies in a separate directory of just the desired parts without destroying the originals)
Possibly I'll add just exporting the loop/sustain part without any attack as you want and yet another option to export just the attack up to the loop for completeness. Not that I see so much use of this myself yet, but one never know...
If I find the time I might shoot a pr with a basic impl, haven't been able to find a tool to extract just loops so I may need it locally anyways.
As written in #13 (comment) I've added a batch processing feature that will create new audio file(s) from any loop(s) in existing files.
The action builds are at the bottom of https://github.com/GrandOrgue/LoopAuditioneer/actions/runs/21117845286 as artifacts.
"Cut audio between last loop and cue" is included in loopauditioneer, but the same for the other end is not.
I have a use case where I start with ~70 untagged wav files, and I need to end up with ~70 wav files, cut down to only the bit that will loop. Loopauditioneer would be the perfect tool for the entire process if it had this feature, and it's mildly confusing why this is often explicitly excluded in this type of software.
