This original version of this tutorial I found ages ago on the Massassi Temple site. It was written by Tobbi Dala and the original version of the tutorial can be found through this link. What I've done here is to do some minor spelling corrections, add new pictures that show the tutorial using the most current version of Goldwave (the main program used in this tutorial) as of 20APR2017, and to provide new permanent links to 2 audio files needed for the tutorial. After the large tutorial quote, I'll be showing examples in this tutorial in action. I asked Zhaboka to record some lines that would be used to illustrate the tutorial in action and he was kind enough to assist. (Zhaboka's line replaces the line that the original tutorial grabbed from Mysteries of the Sith.) Now here's what the sound files sound like - so you can hear it for yourself! The lines will first appear without the filter and then with the filter. Special Thanks to: Tobbi Dala (of Massassi Temple), the original creator of the tutorial. Zhaboka: For recording new lines. HK-47: To extracting the line as it appeared on the original tutorial. Though it wasn't used here - as I used Zhaboka's new lines instead - the effort was and is most appreciated.

Very well done. Good thing they mostly used cutscenes for the trailer or that would've been a nightmare to create xD

So you want to do a large batch of sound files using the same filter? What we'll need to do first is to make a preset. Presets store settings, parameters, and shapes for quick retrieval the next time the effect or command is used. Most effects have a Default preset, which can be changed so that the same settings are used every time the effect window is shown. See Options | Window for a setting to automatically update the Default whenever an effect is used. Making a Preset To add a new preset: Open a pre-existing sound file that you don't care if gets altered. Alternatively, either create a new one or make a copy of one you can't bear to lose. You have to have a file that can be altered in order to put in a new preset. Enter in all the new parameters and/or draw the new shape. Use this guide as an example. Type in a new name - where it currently says "Default" - for the preset in the drop down list. (Let's choose "Stormtrooper Filter" as the title.) This name should be the same as one currently in the list unless you intend to replace it. Choose the Add file button. So now you have a new Bandstop/Pass filter. So what's next? Here's where I explain how to run a batch of files through the filter. Batch Processing is a powerful tool for processing and converting a set of files automatically. Use Batch Processing to: Compress all your .wav files to .mp3 to save disk space Convert iTunes .m4a to .mp3 for playback on any portable audio player, USB flash drive for you car or TV, etc. Adjust volume levels of all your songs so some songs aren't louder than others Update file information, metadata, tags Remove pops/clicks, equalize, and maximize volume levels to restore all your old vinyl albums or tape recordings Insert or append an audio leader or trailer in a set of files Create a comprehensive list of effects and edits that you use frequently so you can apply them to files currently opened in GoldWave in a few clicks Each tab contains settings to configure edits and effects, conversions, destination folder, and file information. These are explained below. When everything is configured, you can use the preset controls to save all the settings, then choose the Begin button to start processing all the files. A status window will appear showing the progress and listing any errors that occur. Files are processed one at a time in the order they are listed. Each file is processed as follows: Click on File on toolbar, then choose Batch Processing. Like this: Choose your files on the Source tab. Effects and editing commands are executed in the order they appear on the Process tab. This is the area where we add the Stormtrooper Filter. On the Process tab, click the button. Click Goldwave button and scroll down to . . . Then click this and then click Add. Then click Close. The file is converted, compressed, or encoded into the file type and attributes specified on the Convert tab and saved in the destination folder specified on the Destination tab. The original file is overwritten or deleted only if that option is selected on the Destination tab. Optional: File information can be changed based on the settings on the Information tab. The Information tab enables you to add information to a MP3 such as the track title, Artist, Album, Genre, etc. Now you're ready to run the batch. Click Begin.
