Tutorial - How to create custom samples

I decided to make a small tutorial which will teach you how to use my LopGenerator.
First please read the readme file on Gitorious.
Second download Audacity, for the tutorial I am using the current 1.3.12-beta.

                                Open your file you want to turn into a .lop file


                      On the bottom of your Audacity window choose 8000 as your Project Rate


                                                    Click on file -> Export

As filetype choose "Other uncompressed files" click on options and edit the settings as shown in the picture. Now save your wav file, copy the file to your LopGenerator direction.

EDIT:  The next steps are now different, due to the new LopGenerator version 0.4. What you have to do with 0.4 is to copy all your .wav files into the LopGenerator directory, start it, now all your .wav files will be automatically converted to .lop files. 


                           Start your LopGenerator, enter filename and press enter



                                 Do the same for the output file, press enter again.


                                                               done :)

Now upload it with the known trick.
I used this sample for the tutorial.
