How the loop length is calculated

ToneAnvil converts the musical length into seconds from BPM, bars and meter, then multiplies that duration by the selected sample rate. Sample counts are rounded to the nearest whole sample.

Why sample-accurate length matters

Exact loop lengths are useful when trimming or exporting loops, preparing sampler material, matching game-audio segments, or checking that repeated audio will not drift over time.
