I cannot find anything free or very cheap for this purpose, I literally only (I think) have one folder where the .wav's are not recognised by Cubase, but there are hundreds of small samples, i'd be forever doing it one by one.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Get AIMP audio player for free, it comes with a batch tag editor and batch audio converter, it uses SoX for audio processing, which has one of the cleanest sample rate converters out there.

Yeah, I was gonna say SoX, but AIMP as a more user-friendly interface for SoX might be easiest, especially if you're only gonna bed doing this once.

Do you know what exactly is the cause of Cubase not recognising your wavs? What is the origin of these unrecognised wavs?LeVzi wrote: Fri Mar 29, 2019 6:50 am I literally only (I think) have one folder where the .wav's are not recognised by Cubase, but there are hundreds of small samples
Because maybe it's not the sampling rate but something else being weird in these samples that gets cured by rewriting them by another tool than the one originally used to create them.
I'm thinking maybe processing your folder with SoX (and not even resample them) can already help. It's fairly straight forward to do that using for instance a PowerShell script. I could provide an example script if nescessary...

Thanks, but I did get this, a while ago, couldn't get it to work on my system for some reason.

I don't tbh, which is really wierd. They are .wav files, but very old, they open and play in any audio player, load into Sound Forge, yet Cubase cannot see them. But they are showing up now I've converted them to 44.1 and 24 bit wavs , so all is goodBertKoor wrote: Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:43 amDo you know what exactly is the cause of Cubase not recognising your wavs?

How is the quality of Voxengo's r8brain compared to iZotope RX's SRC?

Reaper ("free" if you count that the trial-full-version never expires) also has a SR/file batch converter.
Just go under File... Batch file/item converter.

Yep but not the same level of interpolation quality as SoX which is in AIMP.

Wow, thanks for this, I was looking for a good frontend for SoX, the conversion is incredibly fast, compared to some other software I demoed.
