Converting a directory full of aup files to wav

[daviddoria]

Before I saw that there is a very convenient way of splitting a long track using labels and the "export multiple" command, I manually split a track into pieces and saved the pieces as a bunch of aup files. Is there anyway to now say "export all of these aup files to their respective wav files"?

Thanks,

You have a batch mode processing feature in audacity. I never tried it, but I think it might do the trick...

aup is a project not a file
au is a file type with pieces of the actual audio for the aup to use

audacity will handle picking the right au files to convert
when you export from the aup project

open the project for each file and then export
as a wav or whatever
put them all in the same directory
to make it easier to burn a cd next

else
go back to the saved version of the original
(you do back up dont you ?)
and then put in the labels and export multiple

take your pick - same amoutn of work either way

So what I am trying to avoid is having to open all of the .aup projects and manually export each one. The batch 'apply chain' seems to want to operate only on audio files (not projects). Is there no scripting language that I can say "export everything in this aup project to a wav file" and then I can wrap that in a bash loop?

then go back to your original copy and export multiple

you do keep backups dont you ?

else you will have to do them one at a time
really not *that* big a deal to do

Yes I have the original, but I already spent a lot of time splitting them where they needed to be split. Of course it's not THAT big of a deal, but if I'm not in a hurry and I could wait a few days and find a clever solution that would save me several hours, that sounds good to me Sounds like there is no way to batch do anything to these .aup's though

using the original and export multiple will do that the easiest way
