Seamless Music Loops
Does anyone know how to make seamless music loops using the clips that come with Scratch? I'm really stuck. There always seems to be a short pause before the clip loops again. Is there a way to make the clip repeat itself the moment it stops (without a pause)?
Thanks.

Re: Seamless Music Loops
There is no way to get a really seamless loop, but there are several ways to get close enough that you won't notice.
One way is to start the next loop just before the first one finishes:
forever
play sound x
wait 1.95 seconds
(if clip x is 2 seconds long)
Of course, if the clip was recorded with a little silence at the beginning, nothing you do in the program will help. You have to use a sound editor (like audacity) to remove the silence from the beginning of the clip.

Re: Seamless Music Loops
And if you don't know how to use sound editors, go to my "I Need Sprites" gallery and ask me to do it for you! (see link in my profile) Just upload the sound track in a project! 
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline
