Subject:Script: Create new files from each marker

Posted by: Sound Samurai

Here is a script that create new files from each marker or region in a file, from left to right.
The new files are saved at the same location as the original file, with added 001, 002, 003 ... to the filename.

I wrote this to use with small files/loops, so i havent tried it with huge files or insane amounts of markers. Consider it as a manual "Recycle" process - you find the transients, the script extracts the slices for you.

The first time the script runs after opening soundforge it takes a second to run, but after that it is instant (depending on the file size ofcourse).

using SoundForge;

//
// A script that silently executes and does the following
//
// - for each marker or region in the current file, from left to right
// - create a new file from this section
// - name this file the same as the original file with a numerical extension
// - save this file at the same location as the original
//
// Typical usage is to put markers at transients where you want your sample/loop split,
// run script, and put the new cutups in your sampler
//
