    • Leave as default unless you want to restrict the file types used
  • Path to write output files to – Set output file location
  • Log file path and name- Blank for no logs
  • Timing Options
    • Default time to cut from audio – sets how much audio will be trimmed off the front of the input audio.
  • Encoding Options
    • Output Format – Select from the available output formats.

Operation:

Either:

  • The settings in the current configuration will be used to create an output file in the destination folder.

Or:

  • Drop a JASON command file into the input folder
    • Optionally the JSON file can override the trim, output location and output type settings in the current configuration.
