Trying to make WusikSND file with Manytone Mapper

[Gregjazz]

How much is Extreme Sample Coverter? It seems their shopping cart is down?

Mike

Yes, the purchase page has been unavailable for a while. I believe ESC is $50 USD, though apparantly there have been discounts in the past.

STILL down? That's many months! Is it impossible to purchase this? What alternatives are there?

Well, there's Awave, and that can convert to WusikSND, but it's much more expensive. I tried the demo of ESC and I really like it better.

I wonder if this dude got in trouble with any one company - I just emailed him to see if we can ever buy it again. I don't like the looks of awave - and I remember when it was a freeware program. I really didn't care for the GUI then and I don't care for it now.

Is there any other program that can natively save to WusikSND?

You could always insert a small blank wave as the extra wave. (make a small wav of silence)

Might work for now at least untill William changes the coding on Wusik Engine. (This is a old time bug in wusik engine i believe that only gets noticed when you develop sounds for it)

I don't think this error is in our mapping program. (Repeat - I don't think as of this point)

Also ...hang in there ...we are releasing the new version of our editor that opens existing WusikSND files soon.

ESC is a great proggy ...not sure when he will sell it again...always strange the way he takes it off the market for a while. I have it and Love it!

By the way, I just got the looping working in ManyTone Mapper, so when you import a WusikSND or DashSND file it puts the looping information inside the WAV sample files.

awesome. Anyone check out EZ Editor from FL Studio6? It's $24 and is made for sample and loop point editing - has crossfades and everything! Check it out. www.flstudio.com and look (very hard) for EZ Editor. They also have beat slicer for about $10 more and it seems to be used for groove and slice creation - not sure if it is dedicated to making samples though. EZ Editor is a dedicated sample creation tool. It really is easy to use. Damn demo has a million limitations though.

Let me know what you all think.

It looks pretty basic, but it covers the main features in making samples. Not bad for $24, too.

One thing to check for is what different bitrates and bitdepths it can handle.

What about the free Audacity? I can't recall if it sets loop points though ... But it is a nice free editor.

We use Soundforge here and are very happy with it.

I have Soundforge Studio V6 (pre-Sony) but it won't authorize over the web on my new laptop (dang C/R copy protection!). I decided it was time to learn Audacity. I have a large collection of audio cassettes (lectures) collected over the years and use SF or Audacity to convert them to mp3 files.

I also have EZ-Editor, and for working with small-ish samples I prefer it.
