SoundForge converting?

[moskus]

Are there any way of converting a bunch of wav files that has a samplerate of 48 kHz (mono) to 44.1 kHz (stereo) in Sound Forge? I'm going to burn them on CD (Audio CD). I've heard this is possible using SoundForge's Batch utility, but I can't find it nor do I know how to use it?

Anybody know?

I use SoundForge 5.0

Obviously you can do them one at a time easily. All at once? Not sure.

Batch Converter? Will it do the conversion to 16/44.1? Just a thought..

Peace,

Sonic Foundry's Batch Converter should do the trick.

I don't know if it comes with Sound Forge (it should)

I got it because it came bundled with Vegas Video 3.

If it did come with Sound Forge, it is probably not a utitlity that you will find on the SF interface - it is a separate program. Toss your Sound Forge program disk into your puter and check the extras, it might be there.

I just double checked some Sonic Foundry literature - and Sound Forge 5.0 DOES indeed come with Batch Converter on the disc.

Pop that disc in and look in "Programs" or "Extras" and you should be able to install Batch Converter.

Hey! Know what? I found the Batch Converter. Thanks, guys...

I'm recording everything at 24/48k so I have to dither and convert to make an audio CD.

The easy way in SOUND FORGE 5.0 is to click PROCESS and then select BIT-DEPTH CONVERTER.

Be sure to select the proper dither type.

Now you have a 16bit file which still needs to be re-sampled.

Select PROCESS, then RESAMPLE, then set the sample rate to 44.1 and again, be sure to set INTERPOLATION ACCURACY to HIGH.

Batch converter will do all this but for a single file, you can do it all in Sound Forge.

Yeah, know that. But I had 350 files of industry-recordings (will use it to describe the overall db-level), so clicking through that process was not an option.
