sample-prep ~/path/to/samples

Record samples as 96kHz/24bit
Record for 2 seconds before making the sound, keep recording for another two seconds
- I use this to cut noises when pressing buttons on the recorder
Place the samples in a folder in a subfolder called in
Run sample-prep
Check your samples, if there is unwanted noise in the result, silence it in there original
There are some heuristics to prepare most samples correct, if some don't work process them manually

In my test out of 40 samples I had to silence parts in 2 samples.
