A Free Utility for Those That DJ With Live
A Free Utility for Those That DJ With Live
Here's a little app I wrote which renames files that have been warped in Live so that the filename contains the tempo. For example, a track "FooBar.wav" that has been warped in Live to 125.20 BPM will become "(125.20) FooBar.wav".

If you DJ with Live, you might find it useful.

FUBAR - fucked up beyond all recognition - came about in the Viet Nam war.
foo, not foobar is the term software guys use. I'm 35 and started writing code 20+ years ago, I've taken many classes, read lots of books, FOO is common to use in examples, not foobar. there are true software dorks up in here, maybe they can chime in.
foo itself came about in WWII when there were 'foo fighters' IOW faux fighters or UFOs or something that looked like an enemy plane.
IMO. probably at this point it's all been tossed about in pop culture, confusing the origins.

Does it also rename the .asd file associated with the track? If not will Live still see the .asd? Great idea though and big props for putting it out there. One reservation I'd have would be that I tend to search for tracks by artist name primarily and this will defeat the alphabetising of lists, not sure how you could get around that as I guess you're wanting to be able to see all your 125bpm tracks in a block. One of the great things about Traktor is it's ability to resort lists based on different criteria ie name, artist, bpm etc
Yes, it also renames the asd file.
The idea behind putting the tempo in the front is that you can then see which tracks are compatible tempo-wise when sorting by filename. Do you think it would be more useful if, instead of renaming files, it ran alongside Live and showed the tempos, artists, and track names and let you sort based on whichever criteria you wanted?

This is great stuff! Really nice implementation there.
That sounds like a different app altogether - Also extremely cool.jtxx000 wrote: Do you think it would be more useful if, instead of renaming files, it ran alongside Live and showed the tempos, artists, and track names and let you sort based on whichever criteria you wanted?

That sounds like a very useful app. Especially if it also had multiple sortable columns for things like comments, genre, album, etc.jtxx000 wrote:Yes, it also renames the asd file.

Something like iTunes, which is a pretty good data base, but that wouldn't hog resources the way iTunes does.
BTW thanks for making this available.
what a fantastic link that is! Thanks!fishmonkey wrote:while we're being all pedantic:

"foo" and "bar" are all over maxMSP/Jitter, and recently the toto titi tutu ones have snuck in. On a qwerty toto titi tutu are really quickly typed, which is a benefit.
I use "friend", "mate", "chum" a lot

That sounds better, particularly if you could load tracks from there. As an aside I do think that Traktor's implemenation of file list sorting and preview is much better than Live's. Also bugs the hell out of me that you can't skip through a track while previewing in the browser. Thanks again.jtxx000 wrote:Yes, it also renames the asd file.
