Subject:      Turtle Beach wave software

I heard that turtle beach puts out a good wave sample editor for 
windows.
I was told it allowed wave sample drawing.  Does anybody know if 
this is true,
how much it would cost, or where I could order a copy?

I own Turtle Beach Wave for Windows....It's a great program.  Yes 
you
can visually edit and draw with the mouse.  You can also add digital 
effects
(delays, reverbs, distortions, etc) and cut and paste between files.  
The
new version also allows 3-d wave viewing and analysis.  It is fairly
inexpensive (less than $150, I beleive, for the real bells-and whistles
version), plus they give great deals on the upgrades.  Tech support id
phenomenal.  You can get them at 1-800-645-5640.

        Does anyone know where I can get a decent shareware, or even 
a

ANY leads
would be greatly appreciated.

Subject:      Sample clicks

I have been sampling sounds from keyboards, CD, tapes, and other 
line in sources
for use in MOD files.  I have come across an annoying problem.  I am 
using a
SB16 with Goldwave and Cool, but no matter how hard I try I always 
get a nasty
sounding click at the end of my samples.  It is bad enough being a 
poor sample,
but when you use it in a MOD editor it makes it sound like your 
sounds are
 beingclicked off.
I really don't know what to do.  I know that I have to use 8-bit, 11K 
samples
for MODS, but most MODS I have heard do not have this problem.  I 
would greatly
appreciate any pointers or program locations that would help with 
this.

If you are talking about a PC module player, then Scream Tracker 
3.0(beta)
is the only one worth getting (are there any other editors?), but even
though it has more channels, it doesn't come any where near being 
close to
ProTracker on the Amiga, which is the best incarnation of 
SoundTracker,
which is where .MOD files originate from.

If your interested, I can UUENCODE Scream Tracker 3, and mail it to 
you,or
even ProTracker for the Amiga if you want it. Both of these programs 
are
Freeware and in the Public Domain.

Which editing program are u using?  If you use the Scream Tracker 3 
program,
I've got a converter to get rid of the clicks in your sample.  Lemme 
know if
you want it.  Sbug381@aol.com.

I'm not sure where you can get this program, but the Scream Tracker 
3 is a
nice piece of FREEWARE!  I'm not used to internet as of yet, but 
would be
willing to somehow get you a copy either by transfer or some other 
means.

Have you tried sampling with some other program?
Or have you tried using a diferent program to play back your .mods.
Maybe you shouldn't strip off the end of the sample.  Try using the 
amplitude
envelope to decrease the sample's Release Time/Release Level.

Hi Doug

If you're using a Mac there's a shareware program (plus some source 
code
etc) called The Sound-Trecker which plays MOD files via one sound 
channel
(SndChannel) of the Sound Manager.  Decent?  Depends: doesn't work 
on all
Macs, and doesn't have editing facilities, but email me if you'd like 
more
details.

Regards

Clive
