Rehearsal in Room

Hi all,

I should be at Concordia by 2:00 PM tomorrow. In terms of rehearsal, I would go see Cristobal who is one of the guys in charge of the sound for CDA. His office is in the hallway where the video edit suites are-behind the smart classroom.

I will write him and let him know that Chris Leon and maybe 1-2 others will come see him.

Audio software for batch processing

you guys should know about this more than I do..
anyone knows of any good audio software that I can use to edit/encode audio files and offers the possibility to do batch processing (encoding)?
am not looking for some high-end products (don't think paying tens of thousands of dollars is an option here).. but something decently priced would be good
any advices, recommendations?
