Editing

In terms of editing I used Logic Pro 9 with the strip silence option which allowed me to cut the samples really fast, a problem encountered was cutting the samplers with a proper starting point and a good length.
The recording was made all at once time so we end up having close to 5 hours of recording, using the strip silence option on the whole length was a mess because the software couldn't always recognize the very low velocity notes. Having this problem, I had to cut each individual note that contains 4 velocities and only then use the strip silence. Because I planned to use later on, Kontakt as the main sampler, I had to rename every sample taken out of Logic in a specific order, in my case I chose : (Group Name)_(Single Key)_(Min. Velocity)_(Max Velocity). The second field is called "Single Key" because I wanted to make a proper multi-sample instrument containing individual sample for each of the 88 keys of a piano, I also recorded the entire decay time taken by a note to come down to complete silence. I did all this in order to achieve a more realistic sound, I also had some problems at editing not all the sounds had the same velocity and some of them contained background sounds so for some of them I had to write a different velocity and for the others I had to use kontakt looping option.

Another problem encountered was the velocity cross-fade option used in contact, If the samples don't start at the same time you better not use that because you will have a weird sound coming out (which contains both notes) when the pressed velocity is between the two cross faded velocities.
