If nothing else, take a look at the BarbaBatch Demo Manual and the BarbaBatch 3.0 Addendum that are in the BarbaBatch Demo folder after installation, they run you through the specs of BarbaBatch and shows you how everything works.
BarbaBatch is the ultimate batch soundfile conversion application for the Apple Macintosh. It is mainly aimed at the production of audio for multi media. With it you can easily manipulate large amounts of soundfiles. You can play and perform file format changes between 30+ file types (including MPEG, MP3, Quicktime 3.0 & 4.0 formats and Real Audio 5.0 & G2, and lots of telephony formats), apply dynamic compression, gating, samplerate conversion, wordlength reduction, BarbaBatch is scriptable, converts Audio CD Tracks from the CD-ROM drive, can run smoothly in the background and much more, all in a manner that ensures the highest possible sound quality.
For Barbabatch to run you will need Quicktime 3.0 which is available from Apple: http://www.quicktime.com
The BarbaBatch demo is fully working but it only produces 30 seconds of sound in the first output soundfile after startup of the application.
Any markers, regions and loops are processed, also to silenced output files. We have chosen this scenario to enable you to check the audio quality of BarbaBatch. In fact, we are so proud of, for instance, our samplerate converter that we have written a stand-alone freeware test tone producing application that outputs a.o. very clean sine sweeps for you to convert with any samplerate converter you have available. You will be amazed when you hear the difference between BarbaBatch and any other package available to you. The application is called Make a TestTone and you can download it from our website: www.audioease.com. Also at our site are comparison charts that stacks up BarbaBatch against the competition.
The batch-file playing function (PowerPC only) will work completely and with every supported filetype, it will also playback Quicktime video content.
Please note that if you want to make streaming Quicktime movies they must have the ".mov" file name extensions for the Quicktime 2.0 plug-in to launch.
