Automation/macros/applescript, How to make a boring job go faster Options

[mormess]

Hello all

I hope you can help. We're working on a project which involves making personalised CDs for kids. We fitted all the names in the songs in Protools, then, because PT doesn't have offline bouncing, we consolidated the vocal tracks to WAV and bounced the backing tracks to WAV, then put the files on my Mac so I can bounce them offline to MP3 on Logic 6 (not pro). Sounds a bit Heath Robinson, but we're trying to make this as fast as poss as it's such a boring job!

What I'd like to know is if it's possible to automate this task. Perhaps set up the stereo backing track on Logic, then take one vox track and bounce to MP3, take a new vox track and bounce, etc.

Anything so I don't have to sit there doing this by hand! There are over 700 names with more to go!

I've read a bit about Applescript, could this be the answer?

Should be able to do it in Apple script, I haven't mess with A scripts since OS9 so my current knowledge is poor.

Google Apple Scripts there may already be a script in existance or one you can adapt with a little editing.

Thanks for the reply, I suspected as much but it's a bit of a needle in a haystack job! Anyone else able to hone gdoubleyou's suggestion?

I am so bored!
