Hi Kevin,
Sorry I'm responding so late on this, but life got in the way. LOL.
Anyway, you don't actually have to have an open file in order to use the
Batch conversion utility.
Simply open up the GoldWave application, then press alt+F to go to the file
menu, then the letter B to open up the Batch Conversion utility.
Once the dialog box opens up, add the files you wish to create the effect on
and then control+tab to the Process tab. where you'll land on an empty
field.
Once there, tab to the add effect... button and press your spacebar.
In the resulting dialog box, you'll land on a tree view with several
branches you can open up.
For example, mine currently contains a GoldWave branch, a Direct X option, A
GW Amp Branch, and a GW VST option.
The Direct X and GWVST options I have never played with, and so I don't know
what to do with those, but the GoldWave branch has all the utilities you'll
need, so simply right arrow to open up the branch, then arrow down the list
to the option you wish to use.
Once you get to the option you wish to use, you will either hear the name of
the option, in which case, you tab to the add button and press the spacebar,
or you'll hear the word "closed". If it says "closed", then simply press
the right arrow to open up that branch, and select the desired pre-set.
To use an example. If I wish to amplify the volume on several files at
once, I would add the files, then use the above keystrokes to get to the
effects list.
Once there, I would down arrow to the Dynamics effect, and right arrow to
open it up.
Once opened, I would then arrow down to the Blare option, which amplifies
the volume of each track quite dramatically. This is usually the option I
use to increase the volume on my files and it works perfectly. Once I've
arrowed down to the blare option, I then tab to the add button, , then to
the close button, unless I wish to add more effects, in which case, I just
shift+tab back to the list of effects and continue down the line,
remembering to add each effect in turn until I'm done, Once I am done, I
tab to the close button and press the spacebar.
Once this is done, and assuming you're not converting the bitrate and
frequency of the files, I control+tab over to the convert tab to ensure that
the "Convert Files to This Format" option is unchecked, but if you are
changing this option, you make sure that the box is checked, and select the
proper frequency.
Again, this is how I do it, you may elect to do something else, but suffice
it to say, one instruction I gave a previous poster was to open up a single
file, and try to amplify the volume on one file. Once you've got the idea
of what you need to do to accomplish this task, you can then transfer it to
the batch conversion utility, as everything you find in the effects and edit
menus of the regular GoldWave window, will be listed in the batch conversion
utility list.
Once all of these items are selected, simply tab to the begin button, and
press the spacebar to start the batch processing of the files.
This is a rather basic set of instructions, so it's by no means
comprehensive on the batch conversion utility, so if you have any other
questions, please feel free to ask.
Good luck.
Scorpio

how can I change the sound of multiple tracks using goldwave! right now I
only know how to do it one track at a time. I’m pretty sure it’s possible
because on the menubar there is a batch processing button but when I press
it nothing happens.Email is golden!!!
