Need Help Creating A Batch File In Chat GPT To Automatically Create WEMS In WWise

[denbigh7]

Many of you know that I use Sound Editor to import audio files (commentary, entrance names, etc) into WWE2K14. Once I create WEMS, importing works like a charm. The problem is, @TheVisitorX was never able to get the WEM convertor tool working inside SE for WEMS formatted specifically for 2K14. That tool works fine for newer versions of the game, but not 2K14. The workaround is that I have to manually create WEMS in an older version of WWise using specific settings. I'm able to do it and it works fine, but it's a tedious task. My thought was, surely in this day and age of AI, a batch file or something of the like could be created to help automate this process. 

Here's what I would like to do: have a folder of WAV files on my desktop, run a batch file/command line and have WWise automatically covert those WAV files into WEMS ready to import into 2K14 using Sound Editor. Should be possible, correct? 

I actually typed this into Chat GPT a few times and it seemed to give me the proper way to accomplish it, but it's a bit over my head. Can someone help me with this? I'm not exactly sure how to properly set it all up with the given information. 

Here's what I do know that the batch file needs to contain:

Wwise v2015.1.9 build 5624 (the version of WWise that I'm using)

Xbox360 (the platform for the WEM)

Volume 12 

Vorbis Quality High

Channels: Stereo

Sample Rate 32000

Seek Table 4096

These are all the settings I perform in WWise and then I hit 'convert'. I would love for this to be an automated process. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'd happily share the batch file with everyone who still uses Sound Editor for 2K14 audio files.

Below is what Chat GPT gave me when I asked it to create a batch file for me using the above settings, but I couldn't really make heads or tails of it.
