So I guess to re-sample the 808 into WaveLab? Does anyone else have this trouble?

I got a pretty good sample going in WaveLab, and I'm actually 'playing' MDA's Sub Synth manually shifring from 96hz down to 64hz - sounds cool to me. So I want the 'down and up hz shifts', I practice with the mouse and loop, and get pretty good with it. I set up my trusty SP-808 phrase sample to grab the output from WaveLab, no probs. I edit the loop on the 808, and it sounds sweet and smooth as it loops. However, when I use the .WAV convertor to put the sample back into WaveLab, the loops not a good loop? It's bang on to the BPM as I had it, and I nudged the points in and out slightly, and used the crossfade looper... I'll be damned if I can get it to sound as good as I did on my SP-808.

You already have the sample in Wavelab, why the hell are you taking it into the 808 to edit it?

As amazing as WaveLab is, the SP-808 is in alot of cases BETTER than WaveLab for mangling, phrasing, layering, effecting, etc. More readily that is. 
But the 808 and/or it's RDAC compression can audibly 'clamp' the loop points better I find. There's also a switch you can put on if using multiple clips in the phrase sequencer that's kind've a 'realtime' waveform restorer. It's really a marvelous unit.
Just wondered if other folks find that their A5000 or EMU or Akai's et al can handle samples better than WaveLab or DS-404's etc. I think that WaveLab is the most accurate by far. But sometimes something like a SP-808 gives that 'psuedo perfection' without much labor.
And thanks Tuz, but I think I got it. BTW - I'm using your little 'gift' in it as well. If you thought DJ The Freak was awesome... Hold on to your ass buddy!
