--> Hey all,

I'm hoping somebody around here can help me solve this problem:

I am trying to figure out batch scripting and processing with Adobe Audition 2.0... Basically I have a few hundred loops that I need to trim.

I have created a script that will open the file, select both channels from 0 to 946145 samples, and trim any audio outside of that selection. Below is the script I have created:



Collection: sirius
Title: truncate to 0:17.454
Description:
Mode: 2
Undo: 0

Selected: none at 0 scaled 946145 SR 44100
Freq: Off
cmd: Channel Both

Selected: 0 to 769720 scaled 946145 SR 44100
Freq: Off
cmd: Trim

Freq: Off

End:



However, when I begin the batch process it will only process one file before I am prompted with quite possibly the most annoying prompt I have ever received:

"Batch Script Halted, current save not completed".

Now, I am not trying to save these files using the batch process... I simply want to open each file and truncate the selection. Once that is done I can simply Save All and I am good to go...

What am I doing wrong here? Your help is more than appreciated!

i'm guessing that the batch processor doesn't keep track of every file you open, eg no/little memory between iterations. hence you have to save the file after you change it during each iteration. I use audition, but never done the batch processing, so i can't check your syntax.

since you are trying to alter the file permanently, you do need to save it after you've changed it, it would seem.
