Noob here: Need help creating a perfectly looping sample

[acsdog]

So I'm learning LMMS right now, never used it before. I created a sample from and mp4 and would like to create an instrument that I can use in the piano roll that doesn't cutoff after some time. In other words, I would like to be able to hold down a key and have the sample continue to play.

I know that different pitches will play back at different speeds, and I want them to loop perfectly so I don't hear that nasty cutoff when the sample ends. I also want the notes to sustain for a bit so they don't stop as soon as I release the key.

I know how to do this using the triple oscillator, but how do I do this with a sample I created in audacity?

Thanks in advance!

an instrument that I can use in the piano roll that doesn't cutoff after some time. -have the sample continue to play.

That is achieved with changing the envelope

Eg set HOLD to max, and it plays continuously

Unfortunately, yes

loop perfectly so I don't hear that nasty cutoff when the sample ends.

For that you give the instrument a little release

No, that is release Sustain is the value that the instrument will keep after a decay

Its almost a funny coincidence, because i am just about to publish a vid about amo envelopes and its setting. A user asked for that last week :p

But until that- Perhaps my LMMS rookie-guide can interest you? Link in signature.
