With the release of version 2.0.4, SoundEdit 16 is able to automate the production of Shockwave Audio (SWA) files using the SWAtomator Droplet. The SWA encoding process can be time consuming, especially on very large files. Using the SWAtomator Droplet lets you process several files automatically in one operation so you don't need to sit at the computer to oversee each step.
1. Make sure that the SWAtomator Droplet is in the same
folder as SoundEdit 16.
2. Launch SoundEdit 16 and close the Levels window if it is open.
3. Choose Shockwave for Audio Settings from the Xtras menu to
select the compression options you want use for the entire
batch.
At this point you can either leave SoundEdit 16 open or quit it.
4. In the Finder, select the files you want to batch process and drop
them onto the SWAtomator Droplet icon. (Dragging folders onto the
SWAtomator icon is not supported.)
SoundEdit 16 will be launched if it's not already open and convert all of the selected files, appending ".swa" at the end of each original filename. Make sure that your original filenames are 27 or fewer characters in length to make room for the ".swa" suffix.
If you have renamed the SoundEdit 16 application to something other than "SoundEdit™16 version 2", the SWAtomator Droplet will ask for the location of SoundEdit 16. To avoid this, rename it "SoundEdit™16 version 2".
