Makes sense, and I just normally use other bits of software for things like multiple file conversion - NCH switch for file format conversion, and MP3Gain for batch amplification, but, might test this a bit more with audacity, and, yes, for podcast type things might be specifically good for modding effects, and/or, maybe things like changing playback speed, and pitch, etc, in either a batch processing mode, or even just with a set of batch combined effects, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- From: Dang Manh Cuong To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 10:23 AM Subject: [audacity4blind] Re: Chains - batchprocessing etc. Thanks for sharing, Jacob I usually use this to convert multiple file, and export to mp3. If you do podcast, I think it would useful to do something required step by step, such as normalize, truncate silence, compressor etc. Cuong ----- Original Message ----- From: Jacob Kruger To: audacity4blind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 12:52 PM Subject: [audacity4blind] Chains - batchprocessing etc. Was wondering if there was a way to apply something like a pre-defined set of effects, or batch process multiple files in the same way, etc., and found out about the chains: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Chains_-_for_batch_processing_and_effects_automation Played around with it a tiny bit off the file menu items, and seems pretty usable, etc., but, just wondering if anyone else has done much with this..?
