    trying to view old post about an audition 3 script

    Shan-Dysigns Community Member

      Locally, I can't find a script someone had posted online in the Audition forum quite some time ago (January 2008). I can find a search result for the page http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs= lYH&q=audition+3+batch+cue+marks+shandy&aq=f&oq=&aqi= (top result on Google), but can't access it - I'm sure the link has been archived or closed or something, but I really need to find a way to read  that post so I can recopy the script someone contributed for me.

       

      The script was concerninng auto creating cue marks by dividing the audio into lenghts of multiple sections (x2, x4, etc..). I just re-formatted and re-installed Audition, and I'm afraid I didn't save that script. If anyone can tell me how I can access an old archived post or maybe direct me to that script (if anyone knows about it), I would actually want to wake up in the morning - otherwise I may stay in bed and sulk

          Well, I can tell you why the result didn't work quite easily - it throws up a webx thread, and that was the old forum software. Since Adobe couldn't organise a conversion properly to save their lives, your only chance of finding whether the actual thread still exists is to search for it using the forum search. Well, that's the good news; the bad news is that the forum search doesn't work properly either - as other threads elsewhere will attest. In fact it's royally screwed - I put in the text result from your search (which is effectively the thread title I belive) which is "AA3 batch processing and/or auto cue marks" and got back a single, totally unrelated result about pdfs.

           

          So I actually looked back in the forum the hard way to see how far it goes - and it's only a year. And what's worse, there isn't a copy of the thread in the wayback machine either, so it looks as though it's lost to eternity. Can you remember who did the script? Contacting that person (or hoping that they read this thread and recall it) seems to be about the only bet here, I'm afraid.

            I know what you mean by the pitiful way the forum search works. When trying "search options", there is a drop down to date back to the beginning of January 2008 (my post has a January 17, 2008 time stamp), so I would think that post would at least be found - no. Without being able to read that post, I have no idea who helped me (unless I can look into my Outlook email for when I was notified about this posting - maybe I directly emailed this person - probably not).

             

            If someone who knows Audition scripting reads this, please let me know if you can help in this matter.

              Perhaps if you can remind us in more detail what you are trying to do then either the person who originally provided you with the answer will remember or we can start again at helping you rewrite the script.

                Sometimes when I create audio loops, I work in samples display - especially if I'm beat-matching different songs with varrying tempos. I use the stretch command and figure out the percentage difference between the clips (which gives me an accurate down-to-the-sample match) between audio clips. The purpose of the script was to allow me to choose between (/2, /4, /8, /16, /32) - that's divided by - to where I could take an audio clip of say 352800 samples = 8 seconds @44100 kHz and place cue marks or preferably a cue section every x amount of divisions. In a sense, if I have an audio loop consisting of 8 counts, and I want to have cue marks on each single count, then the script would allow me to use (/8 = divide into 8 cue sections).

                 

                I know the translation may be hard to grasp, but that's what the script did. I'm quite intelligent about language scripting (I work in Flash, Javascript, and other little things here and there), so eventually I could figure it out on my own, but right now I don't have that time (not to mention I know it's already out there somewhere).

                 

                If you could maybe get me started with the first command (say /2), then I know I can replicate the code for the other divisions. The last script only placed cue markers, but if possible, I would prefer it place cue sections (is that the proper term)?

                 

                Let me know if you need any additional details - I think I over-explained it now

                  I'm still looking for this script or someone that can at least create one of the divisions for me (then I can figure how to code the other divisions). I'm pretty frustrated with the fact Adobe (a major corporation) can't manage a better forum/post database and archive their posts. I mean, archiving text can't take up "that much" sapce.
