OPENING AUDIO FILES

About Split Stereo Files

ReCycle can load Split stereo files (commonly used in Logic and Pro Tools).

Split stereo files have the extension “L” or “R”. If you load a file with one of these

extensions, ReCycle will automatically scan for an opposite match and load this

at the same time. For the match to work, the split files have to have the same

name (apart from the extension), size, bit rate and be located in the same folder.

Using Drag and Drop

ReCycle supports standard Drag and Drop. Proceed as follows:

1. In the Finder/Explorer, locate an audio file in one of the supported

file formats.

2. Drag this file and drop it on the ReCycle icon.

If the program is already running, the file appears in a new window. If it isn’t,

ReCycle launches and the file opens.

Launching from Files

Any files created by ReCycle will open in ReCycle if you double click

on them.

In addition, (Windows only) you can open “WAV” or “AIF” files in

ReCycle by right-clicking on them in the Explorer, and selecting

“Edit with ReCycle” from the pop-up menu that appears.

If you chose to associate “WAV” or “AIF” file formats with ReCycle during

the installation, you can open these files in ReCycle by double clicking, just

as with ReCycle files.

If the “Do you want to move the left locator...” dialog appears

If you Open or Receive a sample, and there is no loop setting, or the loop start is

just at the beginning of the sample, a dialog appears suggesting you should let

the program move the Left Locator to the first slice point. This is to avoid very

short slices at the beginning of the sample. We recommend that you click “Yes”

unless you have good reason.

If you want this to be done automatically, open the Preferences -

General dialog on the Edit menu and activate the option “Always

Move Left Locator to First Slice Point”.

When this is activated, ReCycle will automatically place the Left Locator on

the first slice point when you Open or Receive a sample, without asking.

See page 49 for more information on setting Locators.
