Automation of adding two files
I have a large number of audio file "pairs" that need each pair to be added (wave1(n)+wave2(n)).
I'd like to automate this.
Can someone clue me in?
Thanks

Re: Automation of adding two files
You could write a little Windows script to invoke GoldWave using the '-clipboard' and '-process' parameters to mix pairs of files together. In fact the example provided for '-clipboard' in the GoldWave manual under "Command Line Parameters"...
"C:\Program Files\GoldWave\GoldWave.exe" -process:Mix "My Music.wav" "-clipboard:My Vocals.wav"
...would be almost exactly what you want to do. The "Mix" batch processing preset would simply have a single Mix edit on the Process tab.
"C:\Program Files\GoldWave\GoldWave.exe" -process:Mix "My Music.wav" "-clipboard:My Vocals.wav"

Thanks Gord, I am going to try that.
Re: Automation of adding two files
I've asked the same question in the past as well.
Gord's answer is good and does work.
However, depending on what "a large number" means, this could get tedious.
If you have any programming skills, the effort to write your own turns out to be quite easy.
I wrote a REXX routine to merge files, if you're interested send me an email and I'll send you details.

Re: Automation of adding two files
Doug,
I have many files with different names to join. Yes, it will be still tedious. But it will be better than always opening them in Goldwave and processing. My programming skill is not bad but I am not an expert by any means.
I will appreciate if you can send me REXX routine. email is vijay.garg@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Re: Automation of adding two files
@DougA - Thanks for offering to help out. Just to clarify, your requests were to "glue" two audio files together (two 1-minute files become one 2-minute file), whereas I'm pretty sure that Vijay wants to "mix" two audio files (two 1-minute files mixed to become one 1-minute file).
Re: Automation of adding two files
Thanks Gord, I missed that. I'll contact him offline, and see what we can do.

Doug helped me to get this done. He not only provided a free and simple programming language program (REXX) but also gave a written program to do the mixing operation. Thanks Doug.
