I have a very long automobile video (10 min) I'm working on and I picked an instrumemtal audio file that is 1:49. How can I loop or blend the file multiple times together to make it sound like it's one continous file. I've tried to crossfade it multiple times but can't get it work as volume varies and just doesn't flow properly. I got it close but there's that telltale annoying glitch sound. Also, the file starts and ends in silence so that too creates a problem as then I've cut and then tried to fade. So frustrating! Any suggestions with wave editor or without would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Here is a tutorial on one way to do that with wave editor.

Yes, I searched your channel first and had watched this but it was confusing to me. I may give it another try. Thanks!

Jim's tutorial does a very nice job of showing how to do that

Depending on the clip you've chosen and your skill level/patience, that may be all the help you need. If your clip is more complex, maybe with several different areas that you're wanting to repeat, you may want to reach out to Eric Matyas who has contributed 1000s of music and image clips here on the forum.

Here's one of his main threads, and if you listen to a few of the samples you can see he does great work. At his website soundimage.org, you'll see that he also does custom work, so you've got a few options to get your video looking and sounding just the way you want it to, all thanks to your fellow PD users!
