Hi,

We are using Sound Forge 9.0e Batch Converter to do a normalize in our sound files.
At this moment we are developing a new System that will englobe the full process, including the normalize in batch.
We are intending to imbed a line command (or script) of Sound Forge to do this normalize in batch. So this system (a third party system) will select all desires files in a specific folder and then this system will use a line command (or script) to run the Sound Forge Batch Conveter with some settings (like file name, level settings, RMS select, etc...).
So we are interest to know if it is possible to use a sound forge line command ( we don't want human interference) to run the Batch Converter to do a Normalize in our files imbeded in this system. Is it possible?

From now on, my regards and gratefulness

Bump

Missed this post, my question is similar to this. Any advice from the mods?

As noted in a previous post, you can pass scripts and script arguments to Forge via command line arguments (SCRIPT and SCRIPTARGS).

If all you are doing is Normalize with a specific preset, you might be better off bypassing Batch Converter and just running a simple script via command line to open, process, save, and close a given file.

If more flexibility is desired, you can access and use the BatchConverter object directly from your own script. See the "CreateBatchJob.cs" and "RunBatchJob.cs" samples in the scripting SDK for more info.
