Editing Samples with an external Sample Editor Back to How To's Table of Contents |
Methods
-Right-Click in .WAV-AIFF or Object List Box, select Edit…Sample Editor
This is a powerful feature of Ensoniq Disk Tools. Directly from Disk Tools, you can open up your favorite Sample Editor and edit a .WAV-AIFF file, or even an Ensoniq wavesample, and directly do edits on it. Works with great programs like CoolEdit and SoundForge. This is a great way to truncate waves exactly, or normalize their gain, add amplitude envelopes, create effects within the sample, and many other features.
Selecting the above method opens up the Sample Editor chosen in the Options dialog. Perform your edits, and then close the Sample Editor application. This will write the edited data back to the file automatically. You also have the option of predetermining the sample rate of the sample as edited in the Sample Editor - this will NOT be permanent, as the original Sample Rate is written back to the file upon closing. It is also advised that you select the AIFF option in the Options dialog; as it is much faster to translate the Ensoniq wavesample into an AIFF file than it is a .WAV file for the Sample Editor to edit.
