Overview

The Batch Processor allows you to automate processing on groups of files, or apply multiple modules to files.

Batch Processor interface

Workflow

Job-based Batch Processing

You can view the batch processing window at any time by selecting File > Batch Processing. Each process in RX’s Batch Processing window is split into individual Jobs on the left. If there are no Jobs when the Batch Processing window is first opened, one will be created automatically.

You can add a new Job by pressing the Add button.

You can remove the currently selected Job by pressing the Remove button.
To add files to a Job, click the Add Files button in the Input Files section of the Batch Processor window or drag and drop in files from Windows Explorer or OS X Finder.

Processing Steps

In this area, you can define the specific processing chain that will be applied sequentially to each file in the Input Files area above.

Use the drop-down menus to select which module you wish to use and click the + and − buttons on the right to add more steps to your processing chain. For each module, you can use a specified preset or custom settings by clicking the View button. Once you have the module settings the way you would like, click on the Record button to save the settings into your processing chain.

Running a Batch Process

Once you are satisfied with the batch processing chain, use the options at the bottom of the window to specify the destination directory, file naming behavior, timestamp information, as well as the output file bit depth and dithering options.
When you are ready to run your Job, click the Process button. You will see a progress dialog corresponding to each audio file while RX runs each Job. You can cancel processing on an individual file by pressing the X next to the file while it’s processing. To cancel the whole Job’s processing, click the Cancel button that replaces the Process button.

You can run more than one Job at a time, if necessary.

Note: RX’s batch processor will continue to run in the background, allowing you to continue working with RX.

If you want to stop the Batch Processor from running to free up some CPU, but want to continue your job later, you can use the Pause All button to suspend all running Jobs.

By clicking on the Duplicate Processing Steps button, you can create new Jobs based on similar processing chains of modules in RX.

Each Job will also be stored inside of RX independent of the audio files you are working with, allowing you to save time by having predefined workflows and processing chains to be reused for any future projects.
