Batch convert tracks from 440 to 442, how?

Hi,
I'm a piano/vocalist playing along to backing tracks that I make using synths and vsti's, these are all done at 440hz.
I've come to do a job where the piano is tuned to 442hz, it's been recommended to me to change all my tracks (over 400 of them) to 442.
Is it possible in compressor and how would I do it?
I've only seen the options of format not actual tuning, and I'm not sure how to get it to 442.
Thanks
C.

XI Pro is better, the algorithm that fixes a PDF so it passes the compliance check is better. Not foolproof but much more likely to succeed than the one in Acrobat X.
As Test Screen Name says you can automate saving to the untagged versions of PDF/A (such as PDF/A-1b) using an Action, simply by creating a new 'empty' action and changing the Save step options. In most cases it'll work, but if the input file is wildly out of compliance it can still throw an error. The biggest problems tend to originate with font embedding and when the PDF has comments applied.
PDF/A versions with tagging (e.g. PDF/A-1a) are horrendous to create after the fact as you will almost certainly be hit with a long list of things you have to manually correct. Acrobat can't automate the fixes this time as it has no way to understand the semantics of each page. It's very strongly advised that those types of file are created directly in the authoring application (though Adobe has yet to implement that idea in InDesign, you can do it in MS Office).

  • Batch converting music from 440Hz to 432Hz

    Hi Group,
    I recently downloaded Adobe Audition trial version and I like this product enough to purchase if it can support the following;
    I have 25000 songs on a windows PC and I want to batch convert from 440 hz to 432 hz.  I can convert each song individually and the quality is perfect but it requires my attention every 5 minutes.  Thank you in advance for your support.
    Regards,
    Jay

    You can save your pitch changes settings as a Favourite by clicking on the star icon in the Pitch Shifter effect and giving it a name. You can then apply this favourite to files added to the Batch Process pane. I believe that some people have hit a limit with the number of files you can successfully add to the Batch Process so you won't be able to do all yours at once. But it should be OK with smaller batches. So give it a whirl whilst your Audition trial is still active.

  • Can I convert tracks from one format to another so that the converted tracks appear in the various playlists of the originals?

    I have a large number of tracks which I should like to convert from one format to another (aiff to Apple lossless).  These tracks are distributed in a large number of playlists.  Can I convert a track or tracks from one format to another so that the converted track appears in the playlist of the original track without going through a laborious and error-prone process of converting each track individually, determining the playlist of the original, and allocating the converted version to the playlist (or playlists, because in many cases the original track exists in more than one playlist) of the original track.

    I do not believe iTunes will do this.  The files created are essentially new media files, not regarded as replacements for old files.  There may be ways to trick iTunes if you are good at editing library files but that would be more trouble than it is worth.
    You can check the site below but I do not recall having seen such a script.

  • Using Aperture to batch convert images from tiff to jpeg

    Hi there
    My first question - here goes:
    I wish to batch convert several thousand tiffs (of various sizes) to a standardised jpeg (A4 @ 300dpi). I'm looking for software to automate this process as much as possible; ideally, it would search designated folders and place the new jpegs in a (matching) new folder structure.
    Would Aperture be suitable for this, or should I consider Adobe Lightroom (or other)?
    Many thanks
    BR

    No filters.
    Solution I used was to create new project. Copy images to it. Delete old project.
    Aperture would not let me copy images from old albums to old project.

  • How do I batch convert files from pdf to pdf/a

    My company is scanning a bunch of old documents and wants to store the files as both pdf and pdf/a.  Many of the files have already been scanned as pdf, is it possible to convert them en mass to pdf/a?  Or must we continue to do them one at a time?

  • HT204266 If I have a play list of various artists and on this list I have two tracks from the same album how can I combine those two tracks to play as one if I am using the shuffle feature?

    An example would be Jackson Browne's "The Load Out" &" Stay".They should play one after the other but in a play
    list on shuffle setting they don't. How do I combine two songs so they play as one in a shuffled playlist

    When I import my music files to iTunes will I be creating new files for every file I import? If the answer is YES; where are those files going to be stored and how much space will they use?
    To begin with you can't manage FLAC in iTunes. The use of iTunes is at this moment limited to WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and MP3. But that's not a problem because if I understand you correctly you want to organize the MP3-files in iTunes.
    When you import music files you can let iTunes copy all files and put it in an iTunes-media-Folder. You can make the choice in preferences-->tab advanced.
    If you deselect the second blue checkbox (sorry, in Dutch) iTunes won't copy files as you import the files in your library. It will use the files from the place they are on the disk now. So you have a choice. But if you want iTunes to copy them, they will be placed in a folder called iTunesMedia. This is how it placed on your disk.
    All files will be put in one music folder well ordered by artist and albums. If you want to make a backup of all your music you just have to copy the iTunes folder to another disk. You can backup all music at once. How much space they will use depends on the bitrate of the MP3 and whether you add more tagging to it. You can have iTunes add album artwork. That means adding gif or jpg files to your library. Are you using bitrate 320 for your MP3?
    If you tell me I can give you estimates on the disk-space you will need.

  • CS3: Any way to Batch convert files from different directories?

    Using CS3. I want to open a bunch of TIF files and re-save using different file options. The only way I know to do this is with File > Automate > Batch. But that only works if the destination folder for all files is the same. It's not.
    Ideally I would not need to first open the files in Photoshop. Perhaps something with Bridge will work. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor looks promising. There's even an option called "Save in same location", which does not do what it says so is totally useless.

    >Bridge and Finder. They might both be running, but they are two programs that aren't Photoshop to do one simple thing Photoshop should do already by version 11.
    The whole point is that Bridge is supposed to be used as an integral part of the CS4 SUITE.
    I keep Bridge CS4 running at ALL times (it uses a minute amount of resources when it is just in standby mode) and I consider it to be an essential adjunct to Photoshop particularly if you deal with digital camera files.
    I use its "Get Photos from Camera" to download from my card reader in preference to Nikon's download program; and I open whole batches of RAW files for processing in Bridge-hosted ACR 5.2.
    ACR 5.2 also handles scanned Tiffs and JPEGs.
    And I use Bridge to output Web Galleries; attach files to e-mails; collect aliases of all the files of any kind (and from any folder) that are needed for a particular project into a single Collection: and generally to organize file storage throughout my System.
    The only thing that I can't yet do directly from Bridge is to burn a Collection to a CD or DVD.
    Hopefully, someone like David Franzen will create a Script to do that too?

  • How to batch convert .eps into .ai files?

    Hi everyone
    I have over the years gathered a huge asset library of all kinds of graphic design assets. Now I need to put this into a system and I want to use Bridge since I'm a freelancer and can't afford another system (my library is over 40GB).
    My problem is that lots of the files are in .eps format (bought in bundles etc.) and I can't stick keywords and more on them in Bridge.
    So I've been looking all over the internet for the last two hours trying to find a way to batch convert 100's (if not 1000's) of .eps files into .ai format (preferably the CS4 version - I got Creative Cloud, but I also work in CS4 with some clients still).
    I have not found an answer I can use yet Some talk about a script and show lines of code, but I don't know how to create/make/save/install a script from pure text so it does not help me.
    Preferably it would be possible for me to make a folder called "eps" and a folder called "ai" and then just put every file into the "eps" folder and then I can sort them afterwards.
    Does anyone know a solution to my problem?
    In advance thanks for all help and suggestions

  • How to batch convert music?

    Hey everybody!
    Just a quick question here
    How do you batch convert your library completely to Mp3 or completely to AAC? I have a library full of different bitrate mp3s and aacs and i wanted them to be completely uniform. Any ideas oh how to do this? DO you know a progam that does it for you?
    Thanks
    -Alex

    I just completed this very task on my entire library. I did a batch convert on all my mp3 files to AAC. First I sorted my library by "kind." Then I selected all my mp3 files, right clicked (control click), and hit convert to AAC.
    When It was finished I removed the mp3's from my library and was left with an beautiful AAC collection.
    You have to set the AAC encoder options before you hit convert or it will default to 128. If that's what you want then go for it!

  • How to batch convert psd to png with layers

    how to batch convert psd to png with layers
    i want to convert lots of PSD files into PNGs WHILE RETAINING
    LAYERS!
    simply batching and choosing custom setting flattens the
    thing.
    how do i do that!??
    and i KNOW it can be done somehow - because i have some old
    png's i KNOW come from the same psd source. ironic, isn't it?
    besides - feature wish for adobe developers:
    A) batch conversion should include 300dpi to 72dpi and vise
    versa.
    B) batch conversion should include PSD to PNG and vice versa
    - including layers and transparency.
    C) RGB to CMYK option when converting from 72 dpi to 300dpi.
    D) batch exporting should include PNG32 which it doesnt now -
    but somehow DOES include the outdated and stupid gif-format.
    E) i'd like the Actions feature of photoshop - makes batching
    complicated procedures easly.
    F) I'd like support for the brushes of photoshop
    G) Better selecting tools for details like hair and fine
    edges.
    Important notes is that i as webdesigner often need to make
    certain aspects of my clients graphics into print material. Also
    that i use fireworks for picture editing.
    Praise for the developers of fireworks
    A) the compression facility of JPGs is AWESOME!
    B) PNG as fileformat is likewise awesome - i end up using it
    for almost all i do these days. Transparency and good file sizes. I
    have used fireworks cs3 to convert all psd and tiff and ai files to
    PNG.
    C) the vectors and styles and method of selecting and editing
    things in fireworks is FAR SUPERIOR to flash and photoshop!

    You can do that in Premiere Pro CC, but not before. Drag the clips from the Timeline to a bin and then export.

  • How to batch convert with After Effects CS3

    I sure hope this isn't a super silly question!
    I have never used After Effects as it came with my Adobe Master Suite and it's quite duanting to learn all of those programs at once. I'm trying to figure out how to convert several MPEG files to AVI using a batch convert process. It would seem to me that would be a pretty simple process and I've read in several locations that it can't be done with Premiere Pro any more. They also say it can be done in After Effects but they don't explain how.
    I'm pretty new to video editing so layman's terms would be much appreciated. I'm running After Effects CS3 on Windows XP.

    It can be done, but After Effects is far from being a specialized encoding application. A bit like using a ten ton truck to commute
    In CS4, threre is such an specialized app. It's called Adobe Media Encoder, and it can be used in standalone mode or invoked from within Premiere Pro or AE.
    Remember, After Effects is a content creation tool that offers multiple ways to render the content you create. But it's not an utility to convert or encode video formats.
    If you really want to do this in AE, this could be a way:
    Import all your MPEG files in the Project Panel.
    Select them all (drag with your mouse or make Project panel active, then Control+A on Win or Command+A on Mac).
    Drag them all to the New Comp button at the bottom of the project panel.
    You will get a dialog which offers to place all these files in a single After Effects Composition, or create a separate Composition for each. Select the latter.
    In the Project panel, select the resulting compositions and go to Composition > Add to Render Queue. Set each item to AVI format with your codec of choice.
    Of course, there are a million variables that couldn't be discussed in a single post or thread.
    As you can see, you are performing a lot of steps because After Effects is designed to render video once you have created content in the form of After Effects Compositions. In that context, these steps would not be "a lot" - you arrive there quite naturally.
    I suggest you take a look at the After Effects Help chapter on Rendering and exporting

  • How do I convert pics from old Adobe Photoshop program on cd in pdd to jpeg?

    I have cds with pdd pics from my old (1999) Adobe Photoshop program.  My system won't open them.  I now have Photoshop Elements 8.  I can go to Organize and get photos from the cd.  They are in my catalog and I can open them there.
    How do I convert them to jpeg?
    When I go to Edit, I can't find my photos in the catalog.  I only find the new pics in my Photo Gallery that are already jpeg.
    I feel as though I'm missing something simple.  Can someone help me?

    Thanks for your response.  I did get a way to do it with the software I already have.

    Subject: How do I convert pics from old Adobe Photoshop program on cd in pdd to jpeg?
    There's a utility called "Image Converter Plus" that can do this for you.  They modestly calls it "the best image converter in the industry.  You can see their web site at:  http://www.imageconverterplus.com/help-center/work-with-icp/examples/how-to-convert/PDD_jp g.html .
    Here's from their web site:
    h1. How to convert PDD to JPG
    Converting PDD to JPG is very easy with Image Converter Plus. In Windows Explorer, select a PDD image and click your right mouse button. In the context menu, select Convert to submenu and click Custom convert line.
    ==========
    This seems to be exactly what you want.
    Since they have a separate "download" and "purchase" section, it's not clear to me if you have to pay the $49 license fee to use the utility.  You may have to purchase the license to get batch processing. 
    Even if you do have to pay, my philosophy in life is that if someone can rescue some important pictures with their $49 utility, then it's worth the price.

  • How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?

    To be absolutely honest, I don't really understand what this box is for, so I shall just use it to repeat and expand on my question. (I have already sent a "Feedback" comment on the same topic).
    How can I get iTunes to display the tracks from a CD in their original (album) order?
    It seems to me that there is something very basic wrong with the way iTunes handles CD Tracks.
    Professionally produced CD tracks are seldom if ever in a randomised order. Why then does iTunes seem unable to display the tracks in the order they appear on the original CD source - whether from a personally owned CD or from a download from the iTunes Store?
    Some music demands a specific, non-alphabetic sequence in order to make sense. Why does it seem that iTunes only offers Alphabetic, or reverse alphabetic order - both of which make a nonsense of the original, often intended order of tracks?
    Why not replace the so-called "cover-art" in the bottom left hand corner if the iTunes window - which, while it may look attractive to some, gives the barest of information concerning the original disc, with a list of the original CD tracks in their original order, so that the user can easily reestablish the order in which they should be played.
    As I would expect legibility might be a problem with doing this, why could not the original contents, (in their original order), at least, be displayed when the "cover art" is double clicked-on - the result of which at present gives me an enlarged version of the "Cover Art". While on the subject of the contents of the source disc, what about all the album notes which someone takes trouble to write in order to increase the appreciation of the music on the CD and the listener's general background knowledge of the artists involved. Such notes, it seems to me, have considerable intrinsic value in their own account. I would, I think, normally be prepared to buy such "Sleeve notes" - so long as a "taster" was supplied (as it is for the music) - for something like the cost of a single 'Tune" on iTunes.
    These two aspects let Apple iTunes down enormously, in my opinion. I think that by chopping even quite protracted sequences of music up into bits does no one any favours - except perhaps Apple's already quite substantial bank balance. People have to be aware that two and a half, to three and a half minutes is a very short time to develop a piece of worthwhile music, and that there are many, many composers, not all of whom are alive today who have written music that huge masses of mankind value for the enrichment of their lives and the human condition in general.
    Please make the viewing of iTunes tracks in their correct order by default possible. By all means have the alphabetical variations available as offering a different approach to the music, but not the sole approach to it - PLEASE.
    Frustratedly yours
    Alan Whitaker
    PS I work at my old 24" iMac Intel Core 2 machine which runs OS "Tiger" - because it is more beautiful to look at, the screen is more pleasant to work on, and because, in some ways it is more capable (it will run FreeHand MX without needing a "patch"), than my more recent 21.5" which runs "Snow Leopard". (I don't find it that much slower, either).

    Dear Mike
    Thanks for the support. I am utterly amazed that after all the hype about how good iTunes is that it cannot play a downloaded CD in the correct order, and that what that order should be is not available directly from within one's own iTunes installation. (I know that one can go back to the iTunes Store to check what the order should be, but having downloaded the tracks surely iTunes is clever enough to retrieve this important information.
    My iTunes to differ from yours in that I have also noticed that it seems unable to download copies of my "talking books" in the correct order either. But in my case it downloads them - from a CD - in order, but with the first track downloaded first - so that it appears at the bottom of the column of tracks so that it would get played last! (At least this is, while being inexplicable, a relatively "logical" bit of blundering and because of this is relatively easy to put right!).
    I like many genres of music, some of which are not really programmed except perhaps by the artist performing them. I know that Frank Sinatra was very careful to programme his album songs to obtain a particular effect and in relation to the keys of the music. iTunes presumes to know better.
    Film scores may be totally randomly put together, in some cases, but in others the order is vital to one's appreciation of the music as a whole and how it relates to the plot of the film.
    In symphonic music most works are divided into sections and are conceived by the composer that way. Some individual sections may gain a life of their own if played separately, but they are never complete in the sense that the composer envisaged them without being placed in their proper context.
    Opera and probably most choral music too, is similar except that the words may well become meaningless if the order is changed at the whim of a piece of ill-written computer code, while ballet music has to be heard totally within its sequential context or it becomes meaningless.
    Finally, I would venture that iTunes, by jumbling up the order of the tracks as recorded on a CD, does an immense disservice, not only to the music on a particular CD, but to music in general, by expressing everything in terms of "Songs" - which it seems to interpret as stand-alone items of between 2 and 4 minutes whatever the genre. Even the way the iTunes publicity speaks of how many "songs" it can store instead of how many minutes or hours of recorded sound. This has to be another brick in the wall of "dumming-down" of people's expectations, and the shortening of their attention spans.
    I don't know about anyone else, but I feel betrayed by Apple over this. Perhaps the look, feel and general presentation of an item are not the most desirable features of a consumer product. Maybe it should be judged more on it fitness for the purpose for which it was sold. There is one other possibility - that Apple are trying to redefine "Music" - and that everything that lasts longer than about 3.5 minutes or is in the form of what could for want of a better term be called symphonic in the broadest sense is something else - not "Music" within Apple's new definition, at all!
    Well that's off my chest! now I can get down to creating some sort of order in my iTunes Libraries, knowing that I have to reconsult all the sources in order to confirm the source playing order.
    Anyway thanks again. At least I know that it is not just me

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

Maybe you are looking for
