I am creating a self-recorded Ableton drum rack with multiple velocity layers. I plan to record various percussion instruments, recording several clips from quiet to loud. Afterward, once I've deleted the ones I don't want, I want to be able to rename/sort the remaining ones according to their db/lufs so I can easily insert them into an instrument rack within a drum rack according to their velocity. Is there an automated way, using another application if needed, to batch rename/sort files by db or lufs?
Edit: So far the only solution I've been able to come up with is to use the Loudness function in the SWS extension (https://www.sws-extension.org/) within Reaper (https://www.reaper.fm/), which lists the LUFS for each track.
After installing the SWS extension, drag the individual clips as a group into Reaper window, importing them as separate tracks, or use Reaper's built-in "Auto trim/split items" to automize the slice up of hits on a single recorded track and then the Reapack script (https://reapack.com/) "Explode selected items on tracks below" to divvy each split item onto its own separate track.
Either way, once each sample is on its own track, select Loudness under the extensions menu, run analysis, type C to bring up ReaConsole, enter "n" then the new filename designating the LUFS (e.g., -32.1lufs-agogo) to rename each track, and then export the tracks as individual files (see https://www.doctormix.com/blog/how-to-e ... -in-reaper).
If there is an easier way, let me know.
Batch rename/sort recorded clips by db/LUFS?
How to do this, that and the other. Share, learn, teach. How did X do that? How can I sound like Y?
