Audition's Batch Proces

[emmpet8]

Discovered something new today.

A friend shared quite a lot of wav files with me. To save disk space, I started to create mp3s from them one at a time. Then I discovered Audition's Batch Process.

Using that, you can import multiple wavs, drag them all to Batch Process and create mp3s for each at the press of a button. It is incredibly quick and easy. Doing 10 at a time took under a minute from start to finish.

It can be used for any multiple audio to audio format and also for video to audio format. It's not something I guess many people would find useful, but thought I would mention it.

Thank you emmpet8!

Didn´t try this before but I got the dBpoweramp converter tool for my conversion jobs and it might be even easier ... just marking the files in windows explorer, right-clicking and choosing "convert to" opens the app. The process usually takes only a few seconds per file. Recommended!

Cross platform, command line driven...

ffmpeg -i file.wav file.mp3

In fact ffmpeg will do almost anything to anything. Turn it back into a wav (note this is pointless as the mps damage has been done already but just to showcase the syntax..

ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wav

There are a lot of command line switches you can paly with too, but that basic syntax will make it go.

Sounds great! I don't know dBpoweramp, but it sounds like it might be for doing one file at a time and I admit this is what you need in most circumstances.

This is not what Batch Process is for and apologies if I didn't make that clear enough. It's for doing multiple files at once, so if you have a large number in a format you want to change, you can do the lot with one click of the button. I had over 40 files I wanted to convert and it made it easy to do all of them very quickly.

It was me not being clear, sorry for that ... You can convert many files in one go with dBpoweramp, too.
