Fade in |
Specify the length of fade-in applied to the sound file after the trim/crop start point is detected. This is useful for preventing glitches at beginning and ending points. |

Minimum inter-phrase silence |
Specify the minimum amount of silence that must exist between phrases before a new region is created. |

When using the Remove data beyond loop points option, this number specifies the number of samples that must exist after the loop. This is used to ensure that a sampler can loop properly, since some samplers dont use the exact loop points supplied. |
