Need to create a command line action for dbpoweramp

[wheelsmcfly]

Hoping to get dbpoweramp to normalize a file for me using a batch file. Would like to just have it overwrite itself after doing some peak to peak volume normalization. Wondering how to set this up???

Thanks for your help!

Hi Spoon,

Thanks for your rapid reply. I read all the stuff on the CI link that you sent me and also downloaded the CI codec. Following several examples I found I made the following and saved it as a batch file but it will not work. Any guidance you can give as to why it does not would be appreciated.

c:\program files\illustrate\dBpoweramp\coreconverter.exe" -infile="C:\zzz-WeatherEye\WFDL_AM.mp3" -outfile="C:\Weather\WFDL_AM.mp3" -dspeffect1="Volume Normalize= -mode={qt}peak{qt} -maxamp={qt}8{qt} -desiredb={qt}-4{qt}" -convert_to="mp3 (Lame)" -V 6

the input file is WFDL-AM.mp3 and its saved in the C:\zzz-WeatherEye folder. The output folder I would like to create would be the same file name in the Weather folder located on the C Drive. An mp3 or a wav would be fine. Appreciate your help very very much. I'm using version 14.4 and just purchased a volume license yesterday.

Thanks again
Keith

If you type that string in to a command line window (start >> run >> cmd), what output does dBpoweramp show?

dBpoweramp doesn't launch and I can't figure out why. The cmd reads: "c:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
