There has been some threads about acidizing samples but I would like to find out if there is a tool that will batch acidize a series of samples? Does Sound Forge do this?

----No. See every other Acidizing samples thread ever.

Adobe Audition will do this but you will have to create the script yourself... Let me know if you need help writing it.

Bottom line is no app will do it like Acid itself with some hand edits needed on a lot of files for proper acid coding ... so batching large quantities of samples is out of the question.

Also some apps claim to acidize but none do it to full specs like Acid does. You'll find that out the hard way, but for example fruity says it will acidize files... but they end up not to full specs thereby they won't play properly in some Acid file enabled VSTi players.

Brief but to the point... the only way to do it "right" is hand edit each file in Acid... from experience over the years, .... yours may vary.

While I certainly believe you, Manytone, I would think that Acidizer would speed things up a bit, say, if you had chopped up a vocal into bars and you knew each clip was 4 bars, it could save you some time. I know I could use something like that, and I remember being frustrated you couldn't do that in one go. Although I can't remember offhand if you can batch ACID properties in Sound Forge...?

Well try this ...try and load any other non Acid (Sony Product) coded file into the Muon coded Acid VSTi Players that they have made. (One etc)
I have found only loops coded with Acid itself will work in these Muon coded apps which play acidized wave files. Also Dave from Muon and I have discussed this a few times and I think we both concluded that only Acid itself will code files to full ACID specs so to speak.
Like I said ...lots of apps will do it, but not with the full Acid info that is needed to have them work in all other apps.
I spent some time with this a while ago and I don't think things have changed but Dave at Muon has more info on the insides than I do.
As for your comment about Soundforge... at last try it cannot do it to proper ACID coding... Meaning the results will work in some apps but will not work as a true acidized wav in all apps or VST that support acid files.
I've been through this and still have found only Acid does it fully and properly. It would be nice if Dave at Muon came around and commented here... as I said.... we discussed this plenty a long time ago. Results were... Lots of apps code Acid but only Acid itself does it with the Full header info which is required to make your wav 100% compatible.

Paul, you are so right, there is no standardization for recognition or implimentation of Acidization, and, in any case, each beat is different so it should be Acidized for itself to get the markers right.

We stopped calling out wav loops "Acid" because it's so all over the place, even though what John("Herodotus" Gump) and Johan("Yogi" Rucker) have played is totally tight as a wav file you can import and use with host Acid-style time stretch.

Acidization requires care and attention, though it can be a lot less boring than crating rex files.

Thanks for some good suggestions. Seems like there is no easy way to properly batch acidize samples

The main reason I would like to acidize samples is so that they match my project's tempo. I guess I could always load them in some auto slicing sampler.

----If, and only if, they are all the same number of bars in length, you can batch tempo tag (tempo tagging is part of what Acidizing does) them in SoundForge. It doesn't place Acidizing markers, but if they are all programmed/sequenced loops, then they don't really need any of that anyways.

...which would be the same as acidizer.

thank you, play again.
