Acidize properties (essential)
Extract regions (essential too for any editing)

Please, I hope Sonic Foundry is not losing sight of how they
got where they are today. Do not leave ACID and Soundforge
rotting on the back burner for creating software like
Viscosity. I mean no offense about that but you guys
should stay focused on audio tools. You've created great
tools keep on making them even better.

thanks

Hi Volkan,

In the time until SF gets the Acidize properties added to the batch
converter, I have written a piece of software called the Freeside
Utilities for Acid that has such a tool in it. It's fo' free on a
karmaware basis at www.thefreeside.com/utilities/ (it's about a 3.8MB
d/l).

And I too hope SF continues its stong tradition of making great music
development tools, and doesn't sacrifice them for apps with less
staying power but more "'net buzz" factor. From the outside, it's
always so hard to know what a company will do, and the world of
digital audio hasn't really ever had the benefits of things like
source code escrow agreements and large, well funded companies behind
it. So we users always seem to end up in a wait and see
position (Mark of the Unicorn had me waiting two years while they
"diligently" worked on a new device driver - I gave up waiting last
weekend and switched MIDI interfaces).

Very cool ! That is awesome !
Though I'm having difficulty downloading it right now. I will try
again tomorrow. It loads everything until the last few KB.
