File Conversions

I need to convert around 50+ files from the sound designer 2 format to .aiff. Does anyone know a really quick drag-and-drop way to do this?

Otherwise I'll have to manually convert them in Peak, which I am too lazy to do.

Doesn't Peak have a Batch File mode?

i'm sure there's a better way, but in performer you can import them all, then export them all at once as aiff.

It could....??

I just use it for mastering, so on all its functions that don't pertain to mastering I am ignorant.

It's actually my custom drum library that I made in DP, and it needs to be in aiff/wav to use in other programs.

I know it's not much help to recommend an additional $300 program but Apple Soundtrack Pro can do batch processing.

I'm going to try Peak, I hope Tantrum's right.

i need to convert Garageband files (.band) to something i can read - like wav, wmv, or mp3. any way i can do this with freeware/shareware, or is someone willing to do it for me...? they're two fairly small files...pretty please :)

Tantrum, you're my hero. Peak churned that stuff out in no time.

But DP can export in any format you want now, including mp3. You could've batch imported all of them into DP, then selected all of the soundbytes and hit "export selected soundbytes" and selected aiff, and it'd be done.

You're welcome, Alex!

That's true, but in Peak you can literally drag and drop the files is one step.

*ugh* one day I'll learn how to tyype

Yo Henried... just to put out a simple no-cost way of doing this (cuz I know you naturally spent hundreds of dollars buying Peak, right?)... iTunes can load SDII files and convert them to aiff.

No sample rate/bit depth conversion options or anything, but it gets the job done.

PS what are you converting? cool tracks? eh?

― Brandon Mitchell (A.H.), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 06:16 (nineteen years ago)

Check again, iTunes has those options for converting files into AIFF.

well so it does!
