However, after doing this tweaking it's sometimes necessary to process the loop further. While you can usually use a plug-in within Sonar, when correcting a problem with the file by using something like noise reduction, equalisation or limiting, it makes more sense to do destructive edits so that you won't have to make the same changes again in the future. Yet I've found that not all editors are created equal, nor do they create files that work similarly in both Sonar and Acid.

A REX file works by slicing a file into pieces based on transients, much as Acid isation does. However, REX slices are discrete 'chunks' of sound that are triggered as if they were notes in a MIDI sequence; play the 'sequence' faster and the tempo speeds up, play it slower and the tempo slows down. There are some fine points, too. For example, if you slow the tempo below the original one, the slices retain the same duration and therefore drift farther apart, opening 'holes' between slices. A REX file can apply a variable amount of timestretching to note decays in order to fill in these 'holes' between slices. When files are sped up, decays are truncated so that start points remain undisturbed.
To bring a REX file into Sonar, first you have to save each slice out individually. Recycle 's heritage includes the ability to send each slice to a key on a hardware keyboard sampler, so there are provisions to save a REX file as a collection of slices.
Interestingly, in one way this method improves upon true REX files: If a slice marker in a REX files lies in any area with lots of signal, there's usually a click during the transition from one slice to the next. In Sonar, sometimes you can eliminate this effect by adding a quick fade in/out or crossfade
To handle these slices as a group, draw a marquee around them. If you're certain of the tempo, go Edit / Bounce to Clip(s) so that they turn into one big clip, making it easier to drag the file around and copy it. You can even Acid ise the pseudo-REX clip if you slip-edit the end of the last slice to fall on a measure or beat boundary, then bounce to clip at the clip's original tempo (as found in Recycle at the start of this whole process).
Although Acid ising remains the most convenient way to timestretch files within Sonar, slicing in this manner can preserve fidelity a bit better for sounds with percussive attacks and short decays, such as drums and even bass or horn stabs.
The original MPCs used a specialist audio file format called SND. All MPCs still load SND files without any problem, although since the MPC1000, it is not possible to save in SND format.
From the MPC1000 onwards, Akai implemented a new PGM file format, most likely to help cope with the additional complexity required of the format. This unfortunately meant that MPCs made before the MPC1000 are not able to read this new MPC format.
WAV stands for Waveform Audio File Format. It is one of the most common audio formats and was created by Microsoft in collaboration with IBM. WAV files usually contain uncompressed audio data with pulse-code modulation (PCM). The WAV files with uncompressed audio data are taking more space than MP3, MP4, or FLAC files. Sending and downloading WAV files also takes much more time and space. Therefore, the WAV files are not as popular as their smaller, more portable counterparts.
AIFF stands for Audio Interchange File Format. The AIFF format was developed by Apple in 1988 and is mostly used on Mac computers. The most AIFF files contain uncompressed audio data encoded with Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio codecs. AIFF files, known as AIFF-C or AIFC, can also store the audio encoded with compression audio codecs. The standard file extension for AIFF format, accepted by audio applications, is .aif, .aiff, or .aifc.
The converter can process an unlimited number of files and folders simultaneously, apply optimally automatic or custom settings for output WAV or AIFF files, organize audio metadata and improve the sound of output audio simultaneously with the conversion.
The app encodes nearly all media formats, including but not limited to MP3, WMA, M4A, MP4, FLAC, VID, FLV, AVI, MPG, ASF, MPEG, MPE, MOV, 3GP, M4V, MKV, MOD, OGM, DV files.
The converter supports WAV and AIFF output formats. By default, the WAV format is selected with automatic settings. Automatic settings provide the best possible quality of sound by avoiding useless resampling or remixing.
The app not just transfers all tags from input audio and video but can download tags and artworks from local files, folders, and online databases at once with the conversion. It allows organizing music collections automatically, simultaneously with encoding files to WAV format.

This example specifies which audio track to embed using the src attribute on a nested element rather than directly on the element. It is always useful to include the file's MIME type inside the type attribute, as the browser is able to instantly tell if it can play that file, and not waste time on it if not.
seems the only way you can get this to work is to hack it together like you are doing now. unless you can find somebody who knows C and is willing to assist you, you will probably be on your own. however, you will learn a lot, and i predict your efforts would be highly appreciated here. i also have a ton of Rex-files hanging around, and all i do with them is exporting the good ones out of Reason as audio files, so nowhere near the usefulness of the Rex-format. at least i have the beats though.
Audio loop format used by ReCycle, a sampled loop creation and editing program; stores audio data and loop slicing information; REX files can be quantized, have the tempo changed, and can be tuned or detuned.
Source code file written in the Restructured Extended Executor (Rexx) programming language, a scripting and macro language primarily used to generate reports and process data; contains variables, functions, and other statements that tell the program how to function.
The FileInfo.com team has independently researched all file formats and software programs listed on this page. Our goal is 100% accuracy and we only publish information about file types that we have verified.
DOD REX drum loops can be imported and used in Stylus RMX via the Sage Converter. This is a utility that is made by and comes with Stylus RMX. It should be located in the applications folder after installation of Stylus. This is one of the many videos provided by Stylus and talks specifically about importing third-party REX drum loop libraries using the Sage converter. You never know how completely up to date manufacturer videos are, but this should getting you going if you are new to Drums On Demand REX loops as well as Stylus RMX.

The utility handles various command line parameters to be able to read text aloud or save as an audio file. The command line options use the syntax "balcon [options ...]", all parameters must be separated by a space. Options can appear in any order on the command line so long as they are paired with their related parameters. Use the "balcon -?" command line to get help on the command line syntax and parameters.
