Zero-X Seamless Looper

Just like perfectly-looped GIF animations, sound too can end so that it starts without you even realizing. However, a moment of silence doesn’t define a loop, but in case your current audio editor doesn’t help, maybe specialized applications like Zero-X Seamless Looper do.

Visual design and file support

The application only takes a little while to get installed, so you might want to keep some audio files ready. Once it runs, a large, empty window shows up, with only an upper toolbar fitted with various editing tools. The empty space is where the audio file gets represented, thus becoming your workspace as soon as you load the target file.
In terms of file support, the application gives you the possibility to import WAV, AIF, SF2, ZEX, and RAW. Exporting is done with the same amount of options. This apparent shallowness of file support is only because the application is dedicated to single-instrument detection and applying of loops, but it can be used on regular audio compositions as well.

Edit options and effects

The wave representation is shown in the main window once the file loads, with a delimiter to show both channels. What’s more, several other options become available, thus increasing the number of possibilities and management options.
Zero-X Seamless Looper lets you use an automatic detection tool in an attempt to have loop start and end points quickly located. You can hit Space to preview at any given moment. However, there’s also the choice to manually set start and end points for loop sections.
Furthermore, you can cut off all other parts that don’t seem to integrate well inside your loop. Another advantage of the application is that it’s core purpose might be to create loops, but it’s also a fully-featured audio editor.
Various effects can be applied either on the whole track, or just to your selected area. These can be used to normalize sound, apply fade effects, insert silence, cut, remove, detect pitch, convert stereo to and from mono, reverse, override, swap channels, and more.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Zero-X Seamless Looper is not only a practical utility with which to create looped audio files, but also edit and enhance those supported sound files. Although it’s fitted with an abundance of features that might make you feel overwhelmed, a few minutes in get you fully accommodated.
