This is LoopAuditioneer 0.6.2.0

LoopAuditioneer is a software for evaluating loops and cues existing in wav 

file metadata. It's envisionaged to be useful for sample production for 
virtual
pipe organs, like GrandOrgue software. LoopAuditioneer can now find 
loops 
by itself also, both in single file mode and in batch processing. But
of course you can still use other software like Nick Appletons free Autoloop 
for other looping options.


This package is a binary win32 (x86) port package created with MinGW/MSYS. The
source code is available at http://sourceforge.net/project/loopauditioneer by
use of subversion.

The icons in the bin folder are created by the LoopAuditioneer author.


CREDITS
-------

This program makes use of libsndfile, originally written by Erik de Castro Lopo
and 
avaiable at http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/. Is provided here locally 
as the version used includes non-official modifications (like the ability to 
handle cue points) that the LoopAuditioneer author has added, but not yet

been officially approved and included in the library. 

RtAudio, by Gary P. 
Scavone (http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/) is used 
for audio output.



In the icons/ directory resides the icons used by the program. The complete set

is available at http://www.small-icons.com/packs/24x24-free-pixel-icons.htm and

distributed under a Creative Commons 3.0 license.



LoopAuditioneer uses wxWidgets, available at http://www.wxwidgets.org/, though
it's statically linked in this package so no other software needs to be 
installed to run this program.


USE OF THE SOFTWARE:
--------------------

Keep the original folder layout! In the bin folder the executable resides. Just
click on it (or create a shortcut to it) and the program should start.

It's possible to auto-detect the pitch of the sample and store this information
as midi note and pitch fraction in the file.

All menu commands now have keyboard shortcuts.

To autosearch for loop points use the Yin-Yang icon (or autoloop settings) to
adjust the parameters for the loop searching, then click on the magnifying glass
to execute the search.

The gear icon opens a batch processing dialog where all .wav files in the source
folder will be processed and saved into the target folder. It's possible to have
the source folder and the target folder the same.

Now it's possible to add cue markers by right clicking on the waveform at the
position one wants to have the marker at. It's also possible to edit the position
by left clicking on the marker flag and then left click again at the desired new
position.

A new feature is the possibility to add new loops from the toolbar or menu. It's
also possible to edit existing loops by right clicking on the loop table row 
that correspond to that loop.
