@danh Yeah

@d-healey Can Atom rename file names too?

[d.healey]

@danh The samples or the sample maps? Actually I think it can rename any file, click the file in the project browser and press F2. But it's a one at a time deal. There might be a batch renamer extension, you'll have check. There are other batch renaming tools for files though if there isn't an extension for this.

@lindon Thanks, quick question about something else - @d-healey - I'm topping and tailing some wavs expecting to save disk space by deleting silence / digital silence.... the results are dissapointing and wondering if digital silence doesn't actually take up much space, even if its part of a large audio file.... ?

depends when you are measuring the savings -- pre or post compression.

[DanH]

@lindon pre, I know digital silence becomes next to nothing in compression...

[d.healey]

@danh How much silence are we talking about? If it's just a few seconds overall then it won't make a huge difference.

[DanH]

@d-healey tiny, sometimes 10% of the sample but I don't get a 10% reduction in file size...

[d.healey]

@danh Stereo or mono? Although that probably won't make a difference because both channels will be reduced by 10%. Very strange.
