Smart Batch Convert to 16bit 48/44.1kz

[TheProfosist]

I have a mixed collection like many. However, for portable I go to the Apple encoders ALAC for iPod and Apple iTunes AAC for Portable/Phone, etc. Both of these really need to go down to 16bit 48/44.1khz from multiple high res sources.

I was wondering if there is (or I guess could be) a way to automate this since I have a mix of 24bit 44.1/48/88.2/96/192
Like, look at the source and choose to resample or not and then choose the correct value to resample to.

With the recent updates to the software ive found myself reprocessing things. I have the system horsepower. It actually takes more time to pick out separate the sources before batch conversion.

DSD is easy enough, though I do have to remember to change it in the main settings before the conversion as usually when not doing this I would want 24/88.2 not 16/44.1 I'd want here.


P.S. Love to see some work on the dithering too with all the work were seeing on the resample <3 from a user of at least two decades

Add the DSP effect 'Conditional Encoding' there can set to copy 1:1 if below a certain frequency (ie not encode),

I might be able to set it up using the current way this works but I would have to have it "skip" everything I dont want it to encode. I would be easier if there was an option to skip this that dont meet those criteria. Like if its not the things specified skip, or only encode if it meets the criteria.
Then I could setup a multi encode profile with the various encoder

has extension .dsf
if not lossless copy to directory
Conditional is lossless, 16bit or below, and 48khz or below do this process
Conditional is lossless, 24bit or above, and 48khz or below do this process
Conditional is lossless, 24bit or above, and 88khz or above/below do this process
Conditional is lossless, 24bit or above, and 96khz or above do this process

right now I would have to have all of those in each encoder that isnt the one I want to do in the encoder as I have to skip everything i dont want it to do rather than tell it what I want it to do.

You would need TuneFUSION which can do that.

Well I gave this a shot and I think ive cracked it for everything lossless wise. Still need to do some testing for adding in Lossy as I would like it to still apply ID tag changes and ReplayGain to those.

Ended up making a YouTube video on what I worked out tonight.

This is the number of multi encoders I needed




I was able to make:
One encoder for non-HiRes lossless CD/DVD quality 16bit/44.1/48kHz
One encoder for DSD
Dealing with Hi-Res lossless took quite a few.
24bit 44.1/48kHZ didnt need to be resampled so they could be handled by the same encoder
BUT everything after that needed its own (based on my understanding)


Below is an example of what I did for the 24bit/88.2kHz encoder.
See the video if your looking at making something similar. If your going to setup for yourself MAKE A PROFILE FIRST!

Interesting, I might have to give it a try. This is not a product that I have seen before. Granted most of my time is spent either on the purchase link to download the new version or in the past in Codec Central (now most of the latter has been integrated)
