Mubert creates short fade-ins and fade-outs for samples uploaded to the platform during stream playback: the signal is processed in the player so as to avoid clicks between loops. However, we do recommend that you make sure you don’t have clicks when looping and that you add fade-ins and fade-outs to all samples as needed, adjusting their parameters according to part type.
As we mentioned before in Sample Creation:
<aside> 💡 We recommend making samples with reverb or release “ends” and/or a high level of sustain longer, so that the stream plays more smoothly and continuously.

Before uploading samples to the system, check the samples for defects (clicks, broken loop ends, unequal sample volume balance, signal phase issues such as mono compatibility and panorama).
The most common issue with samples uploaded to Mubert is clicks at the moment after looping. For Ableton Live users, we recommend activating the setting ‘Create Fades on Clip Edges’. This will help avoid such clicks in most cases.
If you use Ableton Live, be sure to check ‘Render as loop’ when exporting.
Freeze + Flatten
For Ableton Live users:
There is an easy way to export all samples from one track at once: Freeze track in Clip View. This way, samples will be rendered to the project folder (ProjectName > Samples > Processed > Freeze) with all processing.
If you want to work with a frozen track further, use Flatten (in the same quick menu, right-click on the track). Rendered and processed samples will be available again, but the processing devices will be gone. If you need them, save them as a preset for ‘Instrument Rack’ or copy them to another track before you start working.
