im using the audio studio version (not the pro version) of Sound forge and i've been using it to record samples and chop them. its really great for chopping, except when it comes time to export each chop... it takes forever doing it 1-by-1.

my process:

1) record sample
2) setup a perfect loop
3) setup chop points/markers.

but after this part, i have to 1-by-1, go to each chop, export as .wav..put into a folder...go back and rinse and repeat for another 10-15 chops.

TAKES FOREVER

im using the mpc 500, so chopping on it for me is actually longer.

I'd like to just setup my chop points/markers, hit the export button ONCE and have the program export each chop/marker as a single .wav, so i'll end up with as many chops as i do chop points/markers.

Thanks!

Is there a "region" function? Maybe look into using that somehow.
Several regions in a wav can be exported at the same time. M is marker. R is region, Place regions directly on the same marker points.

I use SF pro 11. I dont know if region is an option in your version.

Look into this in Sound Forge "Tools> Scripting> Save regions as files"..."

I don't use Sound Forge anymore though. For basic chop/export multiple WAVS, for me nothing on Earth is faster than Propellerhead Recycle, as it's been for 19 years now.

I feel your pain as I use sound forge. I have the pro version of version 8, but the studio version of 9 and 10. I jsut have no idea where my software is for my my pro version and dont want to pay extra for pro version as I don't use SF as much as I once did.

Let me get to the point... AUDACITY. By far a powerful free audio editor as many will agree.

If nothing else, give it a shot for opening ur samples in Audacity, use the non destruction marking and chopping (highight and hit Ctrl+B to create region/label) Then do File, export multiple. You can use the save dialog to either dump in a folder or create a new folder "such as name of what ur chopping) and each your chops will be dumped to that folder, as separate file(s) in one click.

I did this for a long time and saved to CF reader, which I would then pop into my 5000. I just found it quicker to chop than 5k's chop shop, with more control over where I did my regeions since they can overlap if needed, and the 1 click to save each chop as a separate file.

in soundforge audio studio this is the only way to do it. i used to do that shit all the time. it takes forever huh?
it really sucks when you name one wrong and your numbers are all messed up at the end :lol: :lol: :lol:

the regular version you can export them all at once though.
