Sam, do you have any advice on cutting samples? I mean specifically going from a single audio track to having multiple wav files. My current approach is to record several takes of the notes I want to capture all in one go, pick my favorites, zoom in really close in my DAW, use the scissors tool to slice the audio track as close as possible to where each note starts, and slice it again after the end of each one. Then I export each slice as a wav file. Can you recommend any simplification to this workflow, or is it pretty much standard operating procedure?
I noticed something in your project documentation about sampling in whole tone intervals. I've been thinking about what notes make the most sense to sample, and I realized that the clarinet has a series of half steps around Ab4 that have quite district sounds (at least on my instrument). I'm inclined to sample semitones around there, but whole tones would probably suffice along the rest of the instrument's range. Also there are some very high notes that are generally considered in range but are notoriously hard to control, and from my experience they aren't used much. I'm trying to decide whether to sample them or not.
