I've used LMPro to do hundreds of sample rate conversions...it's just drag and drop onto a Droplet I create (in just a couple of minutes), and that's it. Simple, easy, and very fast... must have audio software!Michael B.
I needed to batch convert 200GB of .L and .R files. My other editors failed and gave me a sad. :(Ant.
Library Monkey Pro saved the day!!! Thanks !!!
Import It
Import your existing audio assets with a simple drag and drop, or import your iTunes library to get up and running quickly. You can also rip your CD audio libraries with full track and index support.
Organize It
Organize your assets according to their structure on your system in the form of Libraries. You can also create Sets, in which you can organize your assets by project, talent, character, time frame, or any criteria you desire. Your Sets can have a hierarchy, and an asset can be in as many Sets as needed. In addition, you can create Smart Sets according to any set of criteria and Library Monkey Pro will keep them up-to-date as you add and modify assets.
Find It
In addition to creating Smart Sets, you can find specific assets quickly by performing advanced searches. The search can be global or limited to specific Libraries or Sets. You can perform searches inside search results as well. Once you have found specific assets, store them in the Bin while you search for more. Once you're finished, select all the assets in the Bin for processing.
Edit It
Open your assets in the waveform editor, and perform actions such as normalize, auto-region, auto-trim, apply plugins, change sample rate and more. Create and name regions for easy separation and exporting. Work with fades, loops and markers with an intuitive interface. You can also edit multi-channel audio and customize the editing environment to your liking.
Process It
At the heart of Library Monkey Pro is a powerful processing feature set. From popular formats and codecs to POW-r dithering and plugin processing, there are few processing tasks you cannot tackle. Process multi-channel files with custom naming, force sample rates to repair files, recreate an entire directory in a new format and more. You can utilize several metadata features including: import from CSV files, in list editing, and metadata tab settings. In the metadata tab, you can even remap metadata to different fields.

Portion Control Tab
Create demo files, export regions, export loops and more with this invaluable tool. Use the new Portion Tab to choose whether to export an entire file or specify the start, middle or end time with a user defined duration. You can then add fades creating the perfect 30 second demo file. You can also export regions, loops and perform auto-regioning in a single batch process.
Enhanced Metadata Support
You can now import, edit and export ID3 Tags, Vorbis Comments, FLAC Comments, WAVE Info, Soundminer Metadata, Broadcast Extension, Pro Tools™ Metadata. When converting between formats, any equivalent metadata will be copied to the output file.
Instant Access with Smart Sets
Smart Sets provide instant access to the assets you search for often. Simply create your search criteria and with the click of a button, Library Monkey Pro displays the list of assets that meet that criteria.
Multi-Channel File Support
Import, manage, edit and process multi-channel audio files. View multiple channels as if you were in a DAW. Resize the channels to get a closer look and use sample accurate editing to clean up channels independent of each other.
Audio Unit and VST Plug-in Support
Batch process and apply your installed Audio Units and VST plug-ins to your audio assets. Preview the plug-in pipeline before processing and create custom presets for easy configuration.
Auto Regioning
Quickly create regions in your audio assets based on comprehensive settings. Automatically create fade-ins and fade-outs for each region.
User-Defined Fields
While SFX and music librarian companies provide text documents and other forms of reference, they do not have all of the fields that correspond to your production environment. We provide 30 user-defined fields so you can effectively organize your assets exactly the way you like them.
Advanced Naming Options
One of the most painful tasks in managing assets is naming them. Create your own naming option presets and use them in your workflow to enhance your efficiency. Naming options can include database field names, metadata, and much more.
