DATE: September 6, 1996 RE: COPROC.EXE DSP-assisted audio file conversion program for DOS Unlike the WAV2ATX.EXE and PCM2AC2.EXE CPU-based conversion programs, COPROC.EXE uses an Antex SX-23e audio board to process the compression. The biggest benefit of this method is that the conversion is completed in real time, rather than ten times real time. Place COPROC.EXE, along with CONVERT.BAT, somewhere on your PATH so they may be accessed from any directory. CONVERT.BAT: @echo off coproc c:\saw\%1.wav g:\cuts\%2.fil /sf=DOLBYAC2 /ff=ATX /n=1 /a=380 /i=10 or coproc %1.wav g:\cuts\%2.fil /sf=MPEG/Kb=096 /ff=ATX /n=1 /a=380 /i=10 The /sf and /ff parameters are file format and header types. For DAD, use ATX header. /n is audio board number; /a is address; /i is interrupt. Note that MPEG-specific parameters are included in the /sf parameter with no spaces between each MPEG parameter, i.e. /sf=MPEG/L=2/M=st/Kb=064. Modify this batch file with the correct paths to your .WAV (editor) and .FIL (DAD) files. You may also change the board number, address, and interrupt as appropriate. Then execute the batch file like this: convert take5 12345 You may then CALL this batch file from another batch file with a list of cuts you wish to convert: CVRTALL.BAT: @echo off call convert music2 50400 call convert spot1 09512 call convert burger 32095 call convert salon 09513 call convert promo 50500
