Also, would this same program allow me to do the above in "batch mode"?? That would be grand considering I have a couple of hundred files I need to process in this manner...
Thanks in advance!!

I need some help trimming down individual *.wav and *.aiff files that happen to have a little "extra" silence at the beginning and end of the waveforms.
Also, would this same program allow me to do the above in "batch mode"?? That would be grand considering I have a couple of hundred files I need to process in this manner...
Thanks in advance!!

Perfect!! I think I posted wanting to something similar a couple of months back, and you're both right, Waveknife or Recycle will do the trick. I simply didn't notice the "gap length" option in Waveknife...
Cheers!

I wrote a little Python app that I use for sampling.
It takes a long file with lots of samples and chops it up into individual samples. It names each sample using the original file name as a prefix and then the MIDI note number and note name.
It works on 16 or 24 bit files, mono or stereo (or really, any number of channels). So far I've only tested it with 44.1kHz samples, but it should work with any sample rate. When there are multiple channels, it makes all decisions based only on the first (e.g., left) channel.
It could also normalize each sample, but I don't want that and it would make it run a LOT slower for stupid technical reasons (the use of Python, mainly).
Let me know if you're interested in such a program. It's not really ready for "prime time", and it's a command-line program only. You'd have to also download Python (from www.python.org) to run it. The program itself is just a small text file (in Python script language, similar to Perl).

If you use AWave Studio (http://www.fmjsoft.com/) for soundfont editing and creating (as I have seen, you asked this in an other thread), then there are such tools (batch processing) implemented.

There are two programs I would highly rec.
On the PC side Sound Forge is the best
On the Mac side there is NOTHING better than Sample Manager. It does a ton of extra things as well.
Hope this helps!

Just Remember
Not one of the auto trim apps does things as nice as Hand editing each and every sample.
I edit samples all day almost everyday .... All of the auto apps can get close ....but there are tricks to getting great edited samples and the auto apps will not do them.
I use Soundforge and blow everysample up to top zoom and make sure things are right.
Make or draw or fade in proper 0 crossings that are in the Right place ...etc etc.
Nothing will beat Hand Edits
I am releasing a new Product here that has Thousands of samples in it, and each one has had Hands on attention, I tried the auto stuff ....it worked but not to my level of satisfaction and quality
Good Luck
