Minnetonka Audio Software is shipping AudioTools Batch Pro, a fully automated processing tool for audio assets.

Batch Pro is a flexible, easy to use, and powerful tool for editing, converting, transcoding, encoding, and applying plug-ins to sets of audio files in a batch mode. Users specify input files, configure a chain of processors, set parameters for each processor and run the job.

All files are automatically processed and placed in the specified output location. Integrated access to vintage analog processors, external digital processors, and VST plug-ins both stereo and surround, including Minnetonka’s SurCode™ for Dolby Pro Logic II VST plug-in, is possible.

“Batch Pro was designed as the first step in a formally architected audio workflow. We did this in answer to our clients and colleagues who are frustrated with the cost in time, money and resources associated with traditional file-processing solutions” said Steve Clarke, Director of Marketing at Minnetonka Audio Software. “We are so confident in this product that we are offering the first year of support (including upgrades) for free through June 30. ”

“Managing content efficiently and effectively is essential in every media organization. Audio production departments manage large numbers of audio files, requiring different file formats, sample rates, compression formats, and processing requirements. This is often by hand with its attendant quality control issues. AudioTools Batch Pro solves these problems perfectly.”

Batch Pro retails at $1,495 (USD).
