After the process is complete and I'm satisfied with the results, that intermediate "Exported" folder can safely be deleted. I always wind up with three folders - the original source (which I leave untouched), the "Exported" folder (which is the result of my Save As or Collect Samples / Batch Compress operation in Kontakt), and the "Converted" folder (which is the result of the Translator operation, containing a duplicate of the WAV files in the "Exported" folder alongside the EXS Instruments that reference these samples which Translator creates). During conversion you can tell Translator to copy / convert the wav files to a new location (which I always do), but you still need to convert the source NCW files to WAV. Make sure you don't overwrite your originals - create and select a new folder in which to dump your converted files, and then point Translator to that folder. You can use Kontakt's "Collect Samples / Batch Compress" function to convert whole directories in one shot. You must first save your Kontakt Instruments and samples to a new directory with the samples in uncompressed WAV format. It cannot convert protected NKI files - anything that is "Kontakt Player Compatible" and / or requires a serial number to be entered into NI Service Center / NI Access will not be converted. Translator is Mac/Windows I believe.ĮDIT - I just found that there is an "experimental" version of Awave Studio for Mac. There may be other software which can do this on Windows (like Awave Studio maybe?) I wouldn't know. I use it quite a bit, and have for many years. Most samples from vinyl are mixed in stereo and so the snares and HiHats are in stereo (caused by the original room or reverb unit).TL DR = Translator works, but it usually makes a mess, and you need to be a bit of a jock with the EXS Editor to clean things up after the process.Ĭhicken Systems Translator is the only software that does this on Mac. I think there is a 30 days full working demo available.īTW not all drumsounds are mono. So its very easy to batch normalize, batch EQ, batch whatever. You can change everything.īitdepth (you can also choose different dither methods)Īnd if that is not enough, you can build a script with every action you did on one sample, save this script and put it on all samples you choose via the batch menu. I have converted a lot of samples with no problems without paying for the full version, unless a splashscreen to remind you about registering a problemĪdobe Audition does the same. ![]() ![]() The program is NOT freeware or open source it is some kind of shareware. It can EVEN restore the original folder structure, so you can just add the folder "C:\Samples" and it will output a converted "C:\Samples MONO" with the MONO files and the exact same folders and stuff.very neat I think ![]() wav files (all drums sounds are MONO anyway, so stereo is wasting a lot of memory an polyphony) I can convert all you sampleCD stereo files into mono. I actually found a very good program myself.Ĭonvert and encode sound files on PC and Mac
