Hello, trying Wavelab 9 Elements out now to see if it provides what I need.
I am trying to use the Loop Tweaker to embed loop point metadata into a WAV file. Once I export the file, I place it in Kontakt and choose “restore loops from sample” section and Kontakt should bring up my loop points from Wavelab.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work and not sure if this is something I am doing wrong in Wavelab 9 Elements or this isn’t supported. Any help is appreciated!
Ya it doesn’t seem like they carry over when I reopen the file, even though the crossfade settings are baked into the file cause I can hear a slight volume bump from before.
I am sure I am missing some setting on export. Any tips appreciated!
If I create a sample set the loop markers and save the file, Kontakt can see the loop points.
If I create a sample, set the loop markers and export the file, Kontakt doesn’t see the loop points.
However opening the exported file in Wavelab again, the loop markers are there.
I don’t know what’s technical difference between exporting and just saving an existing or modified file, but in one case Kontakt can see the loop markers, in the other it doesn’t.
Yes, I had this option checked and the markers present when opening this file in Wavelab, but still Kontakt couldn’t read the markers from the exported file.
It can however read the markers if the file is saved with the markers (not rendered/exported).
After placing my loops marker, I have two options :
saving the file, and Kontakt find my loop, everything is fine
rendering (with “Copy markers” option activated), and this case, Kontakt does no find the loop…
… but, and it is important, if I import the rendered file in SpectraLayers for example, SpectaLayers find the markers.
So it looks like the metadata are not exactly the same… and of course, I would like to use the rendering way
I understand that. Metadata can be located in various legal locations of a file (start, end).
That means that Kontakt has a flaw to extract metadata from WAV files. Hence if they have a sample file, they will certainly find the reason.
Guys, it’s crazy, but I have similar problem.
Neither Omnisphere, nor Spectre (Waldorf Blofeld app) doesn’t recognise WL loop points.
And the weirdest is that they recognise loop points that I made in Halion sample window.
Even more - Halion does not recognise loop points made in WaveLab, too!
