Subject:Batch processing Posted by: DACman Date:3/15/1999 7:47:10 AM On the page detailing the 4.0e update, there is one sentence alluding to the ability do perform batch processing on files, which reads "....an "Undo All" option in the Run Batch Script dialog:....." If batch processing is possible, where are the instructions and/or commands for doing batch processing. To be clear, I am talking about doing something like normalizing the output level on 200+ narration files with a batch script to avoid opening each and every file. Is this possible?

Is it possible with batch processing ?

Subject:Re: Batch processing Reply by: tegbert Date:4/1/1999 10:09:25 AM Richard, I've got no answers for you, but I have a similar question. I've got a couple of thousand RIFF files in maybe 50 subdiretories that I'd like to downsample. Is it possible manually to write a batch script to process these files? FYI, I'm using Sound Forge 4.5.

I've got a couple of thousand RIFF files in maybe 50 subdiretories that I'd like to resample. Is it possible manually to write a batch script to process these files or to recurse into subdirectories?

Subject:Re: Batch processing Reply by: petevil Date:8/23/1999 3:47:00 PM i use 4.5b on occasion and have seen the batch converter. it lets you specify a few operations to run, and then you can specify the files to run the list on. However, I'm more interested in this idea: scripting. Are you listening SFoundry? The batch processor is great when you want to run a string of simple preset oriented commands on some files. However, SForge would be close to perfect if you could make script files for the more complex, algorithmic type processing some folks may want to run. For example: What if i wanted to open a file, jump .5 sec into it, insert a .1 sec gap of silence (or anything else for the matter), add .1 sec to the jump value so that you then jump an .6 further into the file (from the end of the gap), add .05 to the gap value, so the next gap is .15, and repeat,etc. Somewhat of an incremental-space gapper. Some "algorithms" like this can lead to interesting sounds, but it's a pain to do it manually if the file is long, or if you have many files. If you think about it, allowing the scripts to call editing operations, as well as FX (with existing presets or passing along the settings as some kind of parameters), would put SForge even closer to god.

Subject:Re: Batch processing Reply by: Kulibul Date:2/22/2000 5:14:00 AM Hey, that's a great idea!!! Give us the power of scripting, please!!! It would really help out in my everyday work. /Ola pete wrote: >>i use 4.5b on occasion and have seen the batch converter. it lets >>you specify a few operations to run, and then you can specify the >>files to run the list on. >> >>However, I'm more interested in this idea: scripting. >> >>Are you listening SFoundry?
