With SX3 for example the main window name is "Cubase SX" there is no mention of version number. So it seems logical that Nuendo's main window would be called simply "Nuendo".
I could be wrong about this and have made the macro to your specifications. You will soon know if it works or not because Nuendo will not get focus if the window name is incorrect. Therfore the script will not run after you have entered any options.
Let me know if it works. It is up one the download section of my web site.
I will eventually (time permitting) integrate all these into one script that will recognise which app is being used.
Please post back as soon as possible.
Cheers,
Phil. |
Main Window is Nuendo, but I'm sure that I posted this. However, I can't seem to download anything from your site. Every time I try it asks me to log in, which I've done a few times now. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help that you can give.

No mate, some people do have this problem though, it is related to the software I use for the website. You can try another PC maybe? Also I have sent you a PM.
I don't have much free time at the moment so sorry I can't give any more detailed help.

OK, I've just tested the Nuendo version and so far it works very well. I'll give it a proper workout later when I have a full cue with loads of folders to deal with.
The instructions sometimes mention Cubase instead of Nuendo, but that's what comes of trying to help people quickly, I guess. :>))
It would be nice if the audio tracks used the names of the originating MIDI tracks or folders by default, but re-naming them is much quicker than all the button pressing that has to happen when exporting them one by one..!
Thanks Phil, you're a star.

I've now tested it on a huge file and it all worked very well, so I'm really pleased. 
Just one little question; is there any way to allow me to set the locators manually? I ask because I often have more than one cue per project file due to the loading time of VSTi (currently around 10-15 minutes for my template).

It would be possible to name the tracks if there was a key command for track name....
It would then be possible to:
key command > rename track
copy the name
paste it to the export file name |
I think that one of the earlier versions did something like this. I'll investigate how if I can.

There is no way to allow locators to be set manually as this would interrupt the process. It would kind of make the whole thing pointless as the point is that you can do the export unattended.
Early versions (VST) did have a key command for rename track. C4 doesn't. SX3 and N3 may well have but I will not be able to implement that until the key command is given to C4 (it has been requested).
At the end of the day it only takes seconds to quickly audition each track and rename it to whatever you like though eh.

I think that we're talking at cross purposes. I meant set the locators at the start and the export would abide by those, not reset them for each instrument.

Aha yes I understand so you need to set locators before you start to some particular position and then leave them there. This can be done for sure but would mean more than a small edit of the script.
What I like to do with things like this is wait until a few more requests and suggestions and so on come in then when time permits re-write the whole thing.
At the moment there are a few ideas like your one above and also melding the script into one that works for all programs (and can tell which one you are using) are on the list.

Thanks for thinking of improvements. Currently I am deleting all the extra stuff from the project, batch exporting all MIDI tracks, undoing all the changes and importing the new audio tracks. I just have to be careful not to do the left hand twitch (Ctl-S) or it will mean another 10-15 minutes to re-load the samples. At least that would be time for another cup of tea!

Thanks a lot, this really is a timesaver.
Strange, it works in sx3, but it doesn't in C4. It doesn't give focus on C4 and when I click in cubase myself, nothing happens.
edit: okay, now it doesn't work in both
Must be something doing wrong but i can't figure what. |

Phil,
Why didn't you just put these in a zip file, which I think is kind of the standard
windows (and other) archiver? Can you point me at a rar de-archiver which
isn't going to install ad-ware or spy-ware on my machine, and not charge me
for the pleasure? Thanks.

LOL, would you like me to feed you your dinner as well.
rar knocks the *klonk* out of zip and I will always use it, simple as. If your too lazy to type "rar" in google and go to the very first site that comes up www.rarlab.com then I guess there will be no pleasing you.

Doesn't answer the question: why not use a standard which is not proprietary.
And in general, in the windows world, we're not talking about so much data that
performance matters.
You obviously would like to help people out or you wouldn't have posted your
stuff - so why use some proprietary solution when windows has a standard
archiver built in that *everyone* already owns?

Hmmm... Well let me just say because I do this kind of thing a lot and rar is way more efficient and less prone to mess ups. And as mentioned above, winrar is free and only a small download. End of day the choice is yours and I really don't have time to waste trying to justify something like this.
It amazes me how lazy people can be when getting something for free.
Sorry.

Winrar is most certainly not free: there is a no-cost trial version, but notice the word trial?
And what I found when I did a search was first an ad-ware version.
This not about being lazy. It is about doing things in a standard way. Why would I want
to clutter up my machine with yet another utility?
Your reply will be, of course, that I don't have to do that. But that completely misses the
point - read my previous post again.
And this is not about me wanting your utility to the point of obsession - I thought it was
interesting and that I'd give it a try. So not a big deal really. But you should give this
some thought.

Thanks for your reply...
As I said, I have always used winrar as it is most efficient for this kind of job (in my honest opinion). Sorry and all that but if I was trying to make money from this then maybe it would be worth thinking about using another utility. The problem is that your first post was almost trying to make me out as being selfish for not providing a zipped version. If that were the case I would not have spent so many hours trying to get this working for people using software that I don't even use myself. (Cubase SL, C4 Studio etc.).
If you want to discuss the whys and wherefores of zip verses rar then I guess there will probably be a forum somewhere for that or you could have requested me via PM to send you a version zipped (I have already sent the app to a few people who couldn't download it from my site (which incidentally I pay for )).
So bottom line, any further comments here I would appreciate if they were regarding the app that I have written and not the politics of distributing it.
No offence intended by the way and no need to post back I understand that neither of us will be completely satisfied with this outcome.
Best regards,
Phil.

I can't believe people are complaining about the choice of archive format you chose to use after you kindly shared your work with everyone. WinRAR is a standard now and it is my hope that ZIP will soon be a thing of the past since RAR is superior in every way.
There is a great free program I use at work when I don't have WinRAR called 7-zip, opens a lot of formats including RAR and zips in it's proprietary 7z format which is again superior to ZIP.
Completely freeware, no spyware .etc and works extremely well. I think it is significantly better than the commercial WinZip, but definitely not better than WinRAR.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Thanks for your efforts on this tool Phil
Cheers

I have to agree with this. This Batch Export has already saved me hours of time (and boredom), so even though, as Phil says, it is not perfect and there are things that I would like it to do, I've very grateful that Phil has spent his time providing this program for us to use.

Hello Phil,
I tried to download from your site, but I can't... It's says
Download Manager
You cannot link directly to this download
I must to register to download ? Or my mistake ?
As I see, there is another verison from you
for sx3 too. What is the difference between yours and the old one from 2005 ? (I have never tried too )
Thanks in Advance,
Victor

I did try a previous one (I think the 2005 one) but as it couldn't deal with folders it was of no use to me. If you don't use folders it may well be what you are looking for.

Hi!
Is there a chance of getting you to make yet another version Cubase SL2?
NAME OF APP: Cubase SL2
NAME OF APPLICATION MAIN WINDOW: Cubase SL2
NAME OF EXPORT AUDIO DIALOG: Export Audio Mixdown In ....(blah-blah-blah)
NAME OF BUTTON TO PRESS TO BEGIN EXPORT: E
I hope I got it right...
best regards

I don't think this is correct, can you (or anyone) confirm that the name of the button in the export audio dialog in SL2 is "E"? I think maybe you have confused it with your current key command?
I need the actual name of the button you click with the mouse to begin exporting audio when in the export audio dialog.
For example when you are posting here there are two buttons "Preview" and "Submit".
Please verify this before I waste any time doing this for you.
Thanks.

My version is more fully featured and less buggy. I also intend to build on it and add features, as mentioned in this very thread.
No disrespect intended at all to the other guy but he did actually already say this himself also in this very thread.
If you are having trouble downloading the file feel free to PM me and I will send it to you as soon as time permits.
