Would this also work for voice tracker. We find ourselves importing
files manually. I know want to speed up the process. Can you give an
example of how to start import the files.
Thanks

As I am a novice here, I would be most grateful if you could do me
the favour of providing an example usage of nested-import.pl, just
so that I get it right first time.
The command-line invocation I am using currently would be:
rdimport --verbose --segue-level=-10 --autotrim-level=-30
--normalization-level=-10 MUSIC *
How would I call the Perl script with these parameters?
The usage is very similar to that of rdimport(1) — in fact, it takes
all of the same options. The difference is that the <filespec> now
refers to *directories*, rather than files! So, say you had a
directory full of MP3s in a directory called ‘/home/rd/MyMusic’.
You could import the whole batch into a group called ‘MUSIC’ by
doing:
nested-import.pl MUSIC /home/rd/MyMusic
If ‘/home/rd/MyMusic’ contained subdirectories, it would recurse
down into those as well. And so on.
However, a lot of the real power lies in the fact that all of the
usual rdimport(1) commands can still be given and will work as
expected. Thus, you could do:
nested-import.pl --segue-level=-10 --autotrim-level=-30
--normalization-level=-10 MUSIC /home/rd/MyMusic
and all of those level parameters would be applied to each import,
just as if you’d done each one individually with rdimport(1).
It works with scheduler codes too. Say Drew has sent you a USB drive
full of Bahamian music, which you’ve mounted at
‘/media/usb_key’. You could create a scheduler code (in
rdadmin(1)) called ‘BHMA’, then import the music by doing:
nested-import.pl --add-scheduler-code=BHMA MUSIC /media/usb_key
and then every file imported would be tagged with code ‘BHMA’ so
you could program the music scheduler to call for one wherever you
wanted to add a little Caribbean flavor to your music mix. (Of course,
you can also add your standard level parameters to that invocation so
the levels and markers come in just right as well).
Lots of possibilities here. The easiest way to get started is the
experiment with a few files and see what effect turning the various
knobs produce. I wouldn’t try a batch of 5000 files until you have a
good sense of what to expect.
Cheers!
