Command Line

[Cantrip1957]

Hi All

What is the best way to learn how to operate CDP at the Command Line? I like the idea of running batch files. I use the SoundShaper and Process pack
a lot but, just for my own learning (is it more efficient than the GUIs?) I'd like to know how to get up to speed with the Command Line.

Thanks

There are quite a lot of Command Line and Batch-file examples within the CDP Documentation, but they're not catalogued as such, so are maybe not easy to find (something we can look into).

However, I've thrown together a very basic tutorial on the Command Line and batch files, with examples, and put it here:
https://soundshaper.net/downloads/BasicCDPCommandline.pdf
It also refers to a more detailed document in the CDP documentation and also a couple of useful websites.
This is for Windows. Bash scripts for MacOS are very similar and more versatile, I think.

Batch scripts can be very useful for repeating standard tasks with variations of parameter values and sound files.
