Barbatch 5

Barbabatch is a professional batch sound file conversion application for Mac OS X.

Professional

Because it doesn't stops converting when an input file is corrupted.

Because it records conversion log files.

Because it gives professional sound results,

because it includes many pro-sound file formats

and why it has proven to work over the last 25 (!) Years in projects with hundreds of thousands of sound files.

You can listen to BarbaBatch in five of the top ten selling games, on major navigation devices, and on countless CD masters.

More than 50 formats

BarbaBatch converts more than 50 formats and its conversion quality and speed are second to none. For over a decade, BarbaBatch has been earning accolades and accolades for it.

High-end sample rate conversion

BarbaBatch, with its unrivaled samplerate conversion algorithm, it supports files like BWF, Sonic Solutions and 32-bit floating files. It supports 192kHz sampling rate and Redbook's CD image extraction has made it popular among mastering engineers.

Game Audio and Telephony

The wide variety of telephony formats, along with dynamic compression and samplerate conversion, which produce low quality sound not as low as expected, has made BarbaBatch stand out in telephony audio.

Fast, smooth batching capabilities and extensive logging, allowing tens of thousands of files to be converted to multiple output formats in a single run, make BarbaBatch the production option for 6 of the 10 best-selling computer game producers.

Automated CD ripping of faded snippets for many streaming sound formats makes BarbaBatch ideal for delivering audio over the web.

Overview

In the Finder, you drag files and folders (various file formats are no problem) into the window BarbaBatch input settings.

Then you select one or more predefined conversion settings or create new settings for a conversion. You select the output destination folder and press Go. For each conversion selected, a folder will be created and the complete input hierarchy (subfolders and all) will be recreated in the required file format.

General Settings

For each type of file, you can set the bit rate (kbits / s) or the number of bits per word up to 64 bits.

BarbaBatch offers the highest possible sample conversion quality. Samplers can range from 1000 Hz to 192 kHz.

Channel processing is flexible. You can mix stereo to mono or vice versa, copy just one channel to the left or right, create interleaved stereo from split stereo files, and vice versa.

Dynamics and Gain Processing

There's a normalizer that normalizes to a user-defined ceiling, but also an early control algorithm with very intuitive controls and an early peak limiter that makes your audio soar. in the smallest speakers. Gate and peak limiters are built to straighten speech, but are also often used in musical material.

Region Extraction

Regions from Wave files, DDP IMAGE.DAT files and Sounddesigner II files can be extracted to separate files

Region Extraction

You can zoom in and out of all types of files that can be inserted into BarbaBatch.

Snippet Conversion

You can configure the conversion so that it converts, for example, 20 seconds of audio from each input file, starting at the second number 15 and creating an interval of 1 second and one 500 ms interval.

Regions, loop markers and timestamps

If you configure it, BarbaBatch will try to preserve the as much extra information as possible, from input to output.

It recalculates loop and marker region positions when regions are extracted or when the samplerate is converted.
