Additional tip: Instead of using soundforge (awesome progam) doing them all one at a time. There is a program called Allok video audio converter. You can drag all the files you want to use (any audio type besides flac) into a folder. The drag the entire contents of the folder into Allok. Choose "AIFF Mono' as your converted type. choose "Delete original files" then click "convert" and it will go through the entire folder and convert everything and delete the original files in one shot. You can do a whole folder of stuff in seconds. Saves a lot of time when converting a bunch of files. I use it al the time. Thanks for the tips! Excited to get an OP1 soon.
@Equalibeats6 жыл бұрын
Another quick tip. In soundforge...instead of doing the convert bit rate then save as and choosing all your setting in soundforge each time for every samples. you can select all then "copy" then hit command N for new file. Right there you will be promped to choose the settings for that file. Choose 16 bit mono. Then click ok. Hit paste and paste the sample into the new file and it will ask if youd like to combine the left and right channel into mono. click yes. Then just save as AIFF. now every time you copy and paste into a new file those settings will be defaulted so you just click ok ok ok ok . then paste...then save again. Im pretty sure it remembers all your save settings too. Still for a bunch of files ALLOK is quick AF. drag all the files in. choose the render file type. choose delete original sample. click convert and it will go through everything convert and replace.
