Batch processing problem -Sound Forge - PC - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Batch processing problem Posted by: helio Date:6/4/2000 8:33:00 PM I have thousands of WAV files that I would like to use the batch processing feature to RMS normalize but it is important (due to the way the files are organized in a database) that the file names stay exactly the same. However, when the batch converter goes to save the file it asks if I want the new file to be named the same thing as the old file. This is want I want but it asks this for every file rendering the batch process essentially useless. It asks even if I have "Replace Existing Files" checked under options. I feel like I'm missing something really easy here but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know a way around this?

I have thousands of WAV files that I would like to use the
batch processing feature to RMS normalize but it is
important (due to the way the files are organized in a
database) that the file names stay exactly the same.
However, when the batch converter goes to save the file it
asks if I want the new file to be named the same thing as
the old file.

This *is* want I want but it asks this for *every* file
rendering the batch process essentially useless. It asks
even if I have "Replace Existing Files" checked under
options. I feel like I'm missing something really easy here
but I can't figure it out. Does anyone know a way around
this?

hmm...do you have "Use Direct Mode when possible" enabled? i had the
same problems, but with this option turned on it worked for me.

hope this'll help.
