Batchy for podcast production

Set a loudness target per episode. A season in one batch job.

Build your voice chain once: high-pass, de-mud EQ, compression and limiting, plus your own plugins. Batchy runs it on every episode, edited in Batchy or elsewhere, and renders each one with your loudness target.

Before you buy.

Is this for editing or finishing episodes?

Both. Cut, trim, crossfade and level the episode in Batchy’s waveform, or bring in an episode you edited elsewhere. Then process it and deliver every format. Batchy does not record audio, has no multitrack timeline and has no built-in noise repair.

What loudness target should I use?

The one in your host’s or network’s delivery spec. Batchy measures integrated loudness to EBU R128 and applies a −1 dBTP true-peak safety stage on LUFS targets.

Can I use my existing plugins?

Compatible VST3 plugins on macOS and Windows, plus AU on macOS. Third-party plugins are separately licensed.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download Batchy and select Start 7-day free trial on the welcome screen or in Manage License. Email required to start; no payment required. Downloading does not start the trial. A paid license is required after seven days.

Will it run on my computer?

macOS 12+ on Intel or Apple Silicon, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit). One license covers two machines, on either platform.
