Usage
Open a audio file you want to convert to a seamless loop audio by selecting "File > Open" in the menu, or by dragging and dropping the audio file to the app screen. The supported format is uncompressed WAV only.
Select the loop type from either "Ordinary" or "Alternate". "Alternate" is suitable for motornoise and engine sound.
Press the "Listen" button to start listening to the audio. The audio is played on an endless loop. Pressing the "Pause" button pauses the audio listening. You can also toggle between listening and pausing the audio by pressing the space key.
You can change the audio trim start position and the audio trim end position by dragging on the rectangle in the waveform overview view at the bottom right on the window. Repeat the change until it sounds like a seamless looping playback. At this stage, we don't care about the presence of click noise. Click noises will be removed in the following procedure.
Tweaking the trim positions can be made by changing the "Position" value. This tweak can remove click noise.
If you feel the audio is played seamlessly, press the "Save as" button to save the audio.

Loop
"Ordinary" represents a looped audio that repeats forward playback only. "Alternate" represents a looped audio that repeats forward playback and backward playback alternately.
Section
If "Start" is selected, "Position" represents the audio trim start position. If "End" is selected, "Position" represents the audio trim end position.
Position
Represents the position where the audio is trimmed by the samples. When "Start" is selected in "Section", it represents the start position. When "Exit" is selected, it represents the end position.
You can change the value significantly by dragging up and down on the right side of the number input, or by pressing X1 mouse button or X2 mouse button.

This displays the waveform near audio trim positions. The upper shows the left channel waveform. The bottom shows the right channel waveform. If the audio is a monaural audio, the same waveform is shown on both views.
Waveform Outline View
This displays the entire waveform of an audio file. This view indicates the start and end positions of the audio trim section (indicated in red and purple by default, respectively). You can change the positions where the audio cut by moving the square handles.
