Preparing objects of class Wave or class WaveMC for binding/combination/concatenation by
removing small amounts at the beginning/end of the Wave or WaveMC in order to make the transition smooth by avoiding clicks.
prepComb(object, zero = 0, where = c("both", "start", "end"))An object of class Wave or class WaveMC.
Object of class Wave or class WaveMC.
The zero level (default: 0) at which ideal cut points are determined (see Details).
A typical alternative would be 127 for 8 bit Wave or WaveMC objects.
If zero = NA, the mean of the left Wave channel (for a Wave object)
or the mean of the first channel (for a WaveMC object) is taken as zero level.
One of "both" (default), "start", or "end"
indicating at where to prepare the Wave or WaveMC object for concatenation.

This function is useful to prepare objects of class Wave or class WaveMC for binding/combination/concatenation.
At the side(s) indicated by where small amounts of the Wave or WaveMC are removed
in order to make the transition between two Waves or WaveMCs smooth (avoiding clicks).
This is done by dropping all values at the beginning of a Wave or WaveMC before the first positive point
after the zero level is crossed from negative to positive.
Analogously, at the end of a Wave or WaveMC all points are cut after the last negative value
before the last zero level crossing from negative to positive.
bind, Wave-class, Wave, WaveMC-class,
WaveMC, extractWave, and noSilence to cut off silence
Wobj1 <- sine(440, duration = 520)
Wobj2 <- extractWave(sine(330, duration = 500), from = 110, to = 500)
par(mfrow = c(2,1))
plot(bind(Wobj1, Wobj2), xunit = "samples")
abline(v = 520, col = "red") # here is a "click"!
# now remove the "click" by deleting a minimal amount of information:
Wobj1 <- prepComb(Wobj1, where = "end")
Wobj2 <- prepComb(Wobj2, where = "start")
plot(bind(Wobj1, Wobj2), xunit = "samples")
