Converting Loops to One-Shots -ACID Product Family

Subject:Converting Loops to One-Shots Posted by: bartchilders Date:8/8/2002 10:38:10 AM I've got lots of drum samples (single hits and flams etc.) that show up as loops instead of one-shots. I've been using SF-XP to change them (one-at-a-time) but, what a pain!! Anyone know of an easier way to convert an entire subdirectory (or something) to one-shots? Please?
Subject:RE: Converting Loops to One-Shots Reply by: Iacobus Date:8/8/2002 11:23:38 AM Because Sound Forge is the only digital audio editor I know of that saves ACIDized info with the file, it's the only app I can think of that will let a user convert a Loop to a One-shot. Not even Batch Converter 5 has such a feature. There is a File>Save All command in Sound Forge (full, not sure about XP Studio) for any modified files, but you're still asked for parameters for the saves. HTH, Iacobus

Subject:RE: Converting Loops to One-Shots Reply by: Erik_Nygaard Date:8/9/2002 5:53:47 AM Chickensys Translator will now let you acidize whole folders using the same options as Acid/SF; oneshots/loops/beatmapped. I had a discussion with the lead programmer a few months back and they finally ironed out all problems. Very responsive support. You don't need the full version, I use the cheaper Gigaversion for my conversions. The process is really easy, I've used it to acidize about 15 CDs worth of 24-bit multitracked drumloops and am now converting the whole Discrete Drums library, another 9-10 CDs... http://www.chickensys.com/translator/index.html
