What program are you using to loop the material ?

[SPINSTERWUN]

You could use Cool Edit or Sound Forge, to "loop" and "edit" your material.

Or pick up some freeware/shareware at...

When "looping" your material. You should start the loop directly before the first beat, then end it right before the beginning of the first beat again. Do you understand, what I just said?

OK, truncate the material before the beginning of beat #1. Once the material is about to repeat, truncate everything afterwards. Did that make a little more sense?

If not, post us back.

Now, that I am re-reading your post, I see that you need to get an EDITOR (check one of the previus posts).

I use Sound Forge 5.0.

You will need to work on your "editing" skills.

You could also pick up Acid 3.0.

You should like that program.
