Put hundreds of regions on tracks at once...?!
For a game-localisation I have to setup guidetracks with the original audiofiles: over a 1000 wav's have to be put on seperate tracks, divided by character, with a couple o' secs region-spacing.
I remember there was an Italian sw-company once that made a utility to automate this tedious job. Is there a way to make life easier? Anyone remember what that tool was? Thanks! |

Hi Barmier: nice seeing you here again: thanks for the runaround!
I'll give Soundminer and FCP a go at it! Thanks! |

Re: Put hundreds of regions on tracks at once...?!
Soundminer will only put a list of files onto oned track. It won´t put an adjustable space in between the clips on that track.
It will lay a bin from within soundminer on a slected track so you will have to create bins that contain the content. You could then use quick keys to put in a desired space between the regions on a track. Pretty easy sequence: select shuffle mode 1: tab to next region. 2: shift-tab to select region from beginning to end. 3: nudge that region forward with + (select nudge value accordingly before starting sequence) 4. tab to move cuirsor to end of that region. 5 goto 1 don´t know if Tiger´s new automater can do this too? my two cents, frank.

Justin Drury, the chief architect of Soundminer had a small app that worked in OS9.
It would take thousands of sound files and line them up on a PT track with a specified gap You should ask him if he ever developed it for OSX

I was already in contact with them, asking for a demo of Soundminder LE: this is what Steve Pecile wrote:

I'm sure there are more workarounds: I'm thinking of scripting and even editing the session-file in some resource editor. Here's what I did:
I know to some of you all this seems a bit cumbersome, but with dialogue for games, deadlines are fierce and pressure is high... so any trick that can save time is welcome. |

Justin's little app as you described is something that a lot of people could use. I'm sure we'd probably shell out $99 for a stand alone application that could put a whole bunch of files onto a single track with a specified gap.

He was so kind to answer my mail and send me the app...

Indeed, we'd love people like Justin and apps to make life easier; I for one am not that a Big Spender who will buy, say Gallery Soundminer for $995, for the use of just 5% of the options. But I will spend a $100 on an app that works as advertised and is tailored to practical use. |

Just wanted to add that soundminer isn´t made by gallery and does work as advertized.
