[PD] How do I do this (clean looping)?!

[Derek Holzer]

Hi David,

quick late night idea: write to two tables and overlap them with a 
crossfade by 5-10 ms or so. I think your time-triggered ramps at the 
start and end points of the loop are still a good idea anyhow. If you 
are doing any kind of resynthesis of the recorded sounds, you might be 
interested in taking a look at this live looping & granulating 
abstraction I posted a while back:

best!
