Pop at the end of a sample (not to be confused with zipper noise)

Q: When I convert .wav files to EPS format, sometimes there
is a click or pop at the end when there was none in the
original .wav file.

A: The program that you use to convert the .wav file to EPS
format must place zeros to fill in for the 16 byte boundaries.
Awave seems to be the most popular tool for conversion because
of the large number of formats it supports. Awave does fill in
zeros, but not always with complete accuracy. Rubber Chicken
Software's "Midi-Disk Tools" (a Windows program made for the
EPS, EPS16+, and ASR-10) is touted to perform the conversion
with complete accuracy. However, if you use Awave or any other
conversion tool and have the clicks and pops at the end of your
sample, there is a solution:

   Make a note of the problem sample's length in the EPS (EDIT-
WAVE-SAMPLE END). Open the .wav file in a .wav editor (Wavelab,
Sound Forge, Cool Edit, etc.) and add a second of silence* to
the end of your sample. Save it, convert it to EPS format, and
load it into the EPS. Go to EDIT-WAVE-SAMPLE END and edit the
sample back down to the exact length of the problem sample.
Truncate (COMMAND-WAVE-TRUNCATE) the sample and you're set.

   Note that I said "solution", not "quick solution" :)

* In Sound Forge go to "Process"-"Insert Silence..."-"Name: 1
  second at end of file"
