Batch processing
Batch processing lets you automate work processes. It makes it possible to define an
editing sequence, which will be applied to all selected files.
Every task will be entered into the task list. You can define multiple batch tasks which will
then be executed one after the other.
Possible editing options:
Normalization
Linear fading (in and out)
Real-time effects
Timestretching/Pitchshifting
Declipping
Remove DC offset
Target format settings: word width (8/16/24/32 float), sample rate, stereo/mono settings,
file format conversion, compression process
Memory settings
For example, you can normalize a whole list full of 24-bit .WAV files to 96%, apply 5 ms
fades at the beginning and the end of each file, compress them with the multi-band
compressor, change them all to 16-bit mono, resample them on 22 kHz and then save
them all as MP3s.
Tasks
To the right edge of the batch processing window is the task list. New tasks are created by
activating the “Add job” button. When you select a job (with a mouse click), the four
settings tabs are displayed (source files, effects, target format, target files). “Remove job”
removes the selected job. “Perform jobs” starts the batch processing.
As long as you don't close down Samplitude, all the tasks remain saved until execution,
even if you close the batch processing window in the meantime.
