Batch Audio File Format Conversion

Batch Audio File Format Conversion

2008-09-25 by unfragile2001

Hi,

 Is there any other software like Barbabatch (less expensive), that would do the job 100%, it 
must be to Mac platform? I can't find any! 

I've found this programa Switch its seems good but won't convert bit range.

http://www.nch.com.au/switch/

I have a 160gb of a Sound Lib to convert from 48Khz/16 bits (WAV L./R.), to 48Khz/24 bits (WAV L./R.), and put the same hierarchy names in the folders.

Regards,

UnFraGile

Sample Manager is fairly comprehensive, although I've found my version to be
a little buggy.

Audiomove. Free and good.

No idea what you want to gain by converting 16 to 24 bit, though.
You don't win any additional resolution by that.

I know that, i've tried to talk to the video editor and producer, but they don't want to listen me, and I'm tired of arguing.
I'm gone work with this lib in Protools and i don't want to convert every time i need a bunch of files. I'm want them to re-link it.

Gone try the Audiomove.

Thanks Sasha, regards,
