Batchy & Friends

Design your audio processing once. Run it on every file.

Build plugin and DSP chains in a visual node graph, batch entire folders in parallel, and preview the result before export.

Still processing audio the hard way?

  • Exporting files one by one from your DAW
  • Writing brittle scripts to batch process audio
  • Fixing loudness and formatting at the end
  • Rebuilding the same processing chain over and over

See it in action

Feature demos

Load and queue files fast

Drop files in, browse folders, and move straight into preview and processing without building a session first.

Who uses this

Mastering

Run the same chain across a full project

Dial in a chain once, then process album sequences, alternate versions, client refs, and revisions without rebuilding the session.

  • Keep loudness and tone decisions consistent across a release
  • Export masters, instrumentals, and preview versions from one preset

Game Audio

Process large asset batches without scripting from scratch

Run a saved chain across folders of assets for cleanup, loudness, tone shaping, or formatting — no custom shell scripts required.

  • Render folders in parallel for high-volume jobs
  • Use path and filename tokens to keep export trees usable

Sound Design

Turn saved chains into creative DSP systems

Build presets for pitch processing, distortion, convolution, filtering, routing, and texture design, then audition them in real time or apply them across entire asset sets.

  • Use native DSP and external plugins in the same graph
  • Inspect changes in waveform, spectrogram, and processed views

Podcast Production

Hit platform loudness specs across every episode

Build a chain with gating, compression, EQ, and LUFS normalization, then batch process full seasons to consistent delivery specs without opening a DAW.

  • Normalize to -16 LUFS mono or -19 LUFS stereo for podcast platforms
  • Apply the same cleanup chain across hundreds of episodes in parallel

Automation

Move from interactive design to repeatable render pipelines

Start in the GUI, then hand presets off to command-line jobs, scripted render sessions, or watch-folder workflows.

  • Use JSON render reports and fail-fast options for automation
  • Keep the same preset structure across manual and headless runs

Post-Production

Deliver surround stems and format conversions at scale

Convert channel formats from stereo to 7.1.4, apply convolution reverb for room matching, and batch render deliverables across hundreds of assets.

  • Spatial panning and channel conversion for surround deliveries up to 7.1.4
  • Match room acoustics across scenes with convolution reverb IR loading

The full toolkit

Saved Signal Chains Save the whole chain as a shareable file

Build drag-and-drop processing graphs and save them as .batchyfx files you can reopen, share, and batch-process across macOS and Windows.

preset.batchyfx -> load -> edit -> share -> batch process
Live / Processed View See the rendered result before you export

Switch between Live and Processed mode to visualize the rendered waveform immediately. Inspect results in waveform or spectrogram view while you dial in the preset.

live | processed | waveform | spectrogram
Multi-Output Presets Render masters, stems, and previews from one graph

Use multiple output nodes and per-output overrides when the same source pass needs to generate more than one deliverable for the same client or pipeline.

Master: wav Stems/*: flac Preview: mp3
Naming Control Template output filenames with project and version tokens

Path and filename tokens stamp project, client, version, and deliverable context onto output files automatically.

$project/$deliverable/$filename_$version
Plugin + DSP Hybrid Use your go-to plugins inside the batch chain

Combine external VST3/AU processors with native DSP — EQ, dynamics, distortion, pitch shift, delay, convolution, reverb, and routing — all in the same preset.

VST3 / AU + native DSP in one preset
Loudness + Delivery Normalize to LUFS targets and export to any format

LUFS-aware normalization, peak/RMS metering, dithering, tail rendering, and output format controls for delivery-ready exports to WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, or OGG.

-14 LUFS | -1 dBTP | 16-bit dither | .wav
CLI + Automation Run jobs without opening a GUI session

Run from scripts, remote machines, CI, or watch-folder workflows. JSON render reports, dry-run support, fail-fast, and per-output overrides for pipeline integration.

batchy --batch-process --input ./audio --preset delivery.batchyfx --render-report out.json

Not just for batch work

Chain pitch shifting, convolution reverb, distortion, band splitting, and filtering into presets you'd never build in a DAW. Audition them in real time on a single file, compare waveform and spectrogram views, then run the same chain across an entire asset set when you're ready.

Made by a sound designer, for sound designers

Batchy started as a personal tool — built by a working audio engineer who needed a way to batch-normalize and reformat thousands of game audio assets per milestone without rebuilding the same chains every time.

Common questions

Trial What happens after the 30-day free trial?

After 30 days you can still open Batchy, browse presets, and view your processing chains. Batch processing and file export lock until you purchase a license. Your presets and settings are never deleted.

Plugins Can I use my existing VST3 and AU plugins?

Yes. Batchy hosts VST3 plugins on macOS and Windows, plus Audio Unit (AU) plugins on macOS. Your plugins appear in the node palette alongside Batchy's 30+ built-in processors, and you can mix both in the same graph.

System What are the system requirements?

macOS 11+ (Intel and Apple Silicon) or Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Any machine that can run a modern DAW will run Batchy comfortably. Batch processing scales across all available CPU cores.

License How many computers can I install it on?

One license covers two machines — for example, a studio desktop and a laptop. Both macOS and Windows are included. No dongles or hardware keys.

Pricing Is this a subscription?

No. One-time purchase. You pay $149 once and get the full application plus free updates within the current version. No recurring fees, no annual renewals, no feature tiers.

Commercial Can I use Batchy for commercial and client work?

Yes. Your license covers personal and commercial use. No royalties on processed output, no per-project fees, and no restrictions on how you use the files Batchy produces.

Formats What audio formats are supported?

Input: WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG, M4A, WMA, CAF. Output: WAV (16/24/32-bit), AIFF, FLAC, MP3, OGG. Sample rates from 8 kHz to 192 kHz.

Security Is Batchy safe to download?

Batchy is code-signed and notarized by Apple on macOS, and signed with Microsoft Azure Trusted Signing on Windows. Every release is submitted to VirusTotal and ships with SHA256 checksums.
