EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello again, Joeri,

The guy selling the Mac sample CD-ROM was kind enough to convert the 
SDII samples to Wave for us, but they come up on the newly-converted 
CD-ROM together with the SDII files but without any extensions (.wav 
or SDII). We are able to use Sound Forge to highlight and tell which 
samples on the disc are Mac (they show up in the preview screen as 
unknown file type) and which are .wav (they show up as Rif wave 
files).

It is easy enough using Sound Forge to rename the files adding  
the .wav extension to the correctly formatted sound files, but it has 
to be done one file at a time.  I looked and tried to do a batch 
convert as you mentioned, and also looked for a way to batch rename 
the untitled extension-less .wav files, but I was not able to 
decipher the correct procedures for accomplsihing this task.

I really appreciate your offer to convert the samples for us, but the 
CD-ROM is about 500MB, and it is not realistic to be able to get all 
the files to you and back, as we are still using a 56k modem.

I would ask instead, if you don't mind, that you instruct me how to 
accomplish this task, step by step, within Sound Forge.  We are very 
new to the program, and getting this kind of help from someone who 
has the knowledge and experience will save us hours of learning curve 
time.

Please let me know if this help is possible within your busy schedule.

Thank you,

David Benus
