I will tell you how to avoid repetetive tasks using some code

Problem

• I was preparing cool samples to use in a music project, but after I got about 50 cool sounds...
• My tiny sampler does not like the stereo files
• convert from stereo to mono
• convert sample rate
• many files

How to perform the same action on many files

Command line goodness

• tons of built in tools
• combine their results (pipe)

#!/bin/bash

for file in *.wav
  do
    sox $file -b 16 -c 1 -r 48k "converted/$file"
  done
