Create or open a WAV file in [https://www.audacityteam.org/](Audacity) or another similarly-featureful tool. 2. Modify the WAV to suit your needs. This sublist details my preferences: - Change the project rate to 32000 Hz, only because that maps better to the BRR output - - Trim as many leading 0s off the from of the sample (although BRR Suite can also do that now) + - Trim leading 0s off the front of the sample (although BRR Suite can also do that now) - Truncate the sample to about 0.1 seconds. Longer files end up too big for my tastes after conversion. BRR Suite (and BRRtools) can truncate the file themselves, but I find it easier to work with when it's smaller. - Use Effect>Normalize to remove any DC offset - Use Effect>Amplify to make the waveform as loud as possible @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ Here's a rough step-by-step of what I do: 4. Set the `Trim to` field to a 0 or close-to-zero sample, with the number found using Audacity. This should give enough room for the waveform to loop nicely, but ideally as close to the beginning as possible for a smaller output. 5. Set the `First loop sample` field to a 0 or close-to-zero sample as close to the beginning as possible that looks like it could smoothly transition in from the selected endpoint. 6.

After every candidate has been listened to, take one value from the SCRATCH area and set it as the `Loop sample` in the `Fine adjustments` box. 9.
