So I recently bought some of the orchestral libraries from Soundfont Downloads (https://soundfontdownloads.com/catalog/orchestral). They sound pretty decent but some of the samples have problems. Especially with the woodwinds. As I was trying them out, I kept noticing a popping sound. I initially thought it had to do with the audio driver I tried changing some of the settings around and nothing changed. Then I thought it could be the loop points in the samples, so I opened up the sf2 in Polyphone and adjusted the loop points. That didn't work either so I found the sample with the popping noise, extracted it, and opened it up in Wavosaur. After some looking around I came across a spot where some of the points in the wave are out of place... in lack of a better explanation... I'll upload a picture of what I'm talking about. Anyway, after taking a look at some of the other samples, I noticed the same thing. Is there a way to fix this? The only way I know of is dragging each point to where they're supposed to be which is tedious and doesn't always work since you have to guess where they're supposed to be.
While I'm at it, I would also like to ask if anyone knows of any good tutorials for editing and repairing samples. I've been playing around with this kind of stuff for a few years now, but I'm still a complete newb. Especially when it comes to looping samples which is always a pain. I already tried looking on Youtube and Google for tutorials but all that really amounted to was how to edit and loop rap beats. Any info is very much appreciated. Sorry about the wall of text...
