Batch convert samples to 8bit

[basswave]

Used the switch software and batch converted some sample source samples to 44100 8bit raw and it works like a charm thanks.

Also tested open source sox commands in cygwin and it rocks as well here is one command used to convert a samples folder to 8bit 44100 wav files with normalisation to -1db:

Code:

mkdir out.44k8
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.wav" | while read filename; do ~/c/prog/sox-14.4.2/sox.exe --no-dither "$filename" --bits=8 ./out.44k8/"$filename" --norm=-1 rate 44100; done;

one can adapt the script for various rates like this for chip tune 8bit 8khz:

Code:

mkdir out.8k8
find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*.wav" | while read filename; do ~/c/prog/sox-14.4.2/sox.exe --no-dither "$filename" --bits=8 ./out.8k8/"$filename" --norm=-1 rate 8000; done;
