I need an automator workflow that will increase the volume of several (over 100) audio tracks. I am new to macs and therefore to automator, but what I am trying is making an applescript in soundtrack pro, then using the applescript editor to copy and paste it into an automator script action, then follow it with another sountrack pro action, but it never gets past opening soundtrack pro… help please… here is the applescript I have pasted into automator:
property type_list : {“AIFC”, “AIFF”, “MPG3”, “MooV”, “NeXT”, “Sd2f”, “WAVE”}
property extension_list : {“aif”, “aiff”, “mp3”, “m4a”, “sdII”, “mov”, “au”, “wav”}
on run
try
set myFile to choose file with prompt “Please Pick a File” of type type_list default location (path to desktop) without invisibles and multiple selections allowed
processFile(myFile)
on error errText number errNum
if (errNum is equal to -128) then
end if
end try
end run
on loadFiles(this_file)
repeat with one_item in this_file
my processFile(one_item)
end repeat
end loadFiles
on open these_items
repeat with i from 1 to the count of these_items
set this_item to (item i of these_items)
set the item_info to info for this_item
if folder of the item_info is true then
process_folder(this_item)
else if (alias of the item_info is false and the file type of the item_info is in the type_list) or (the name extension of the item_info is in the extension_list) then
processFile(this_item)
end if
end repeat
end open
on processFile(this_file)
with timeout of 600 seconds
tell application “Soundtrack Pro”
activate
open this_file
end tell
process()
try
tell application "Soundtrack Pro"
tell front audio file document
save
close saving no
end tell
end tell
on error errMsg number errNum
display dialog errMsg & "/" & errNum buttons {"OK"} default button 1
return "error"
end try
end timeout
end processFile
on process()

tell application “Soundtrack Pro”

tell front audio file document
set theEntireDuration to the duration
