Article Preview - Minnetonka AudioTools AWE
Batch Processing Utility [Mac OSX]
Published in SOS March 2008

Reviews : Software


Need to convert files en masse into different formats or sample rates, or apply the same plug-in settings to hundreds of files at once? Minnetonka have developed a utility that could take the legwork out of the job.
Mike Thornton
AudioTools Audio Workflow Engine (AWE) from Minnetonka Software is described as a batch conversion tool for audio files. However, it does a whole load more than simply converting files from one audio format into another: AWE can do editing, converting, transcoding, encoding, and applying plug-ins. Users specify a set of input files, configure a chain of processors, set parameters for each processor and run the job. All files are automatically processed and placed in the specified output location. Minnetonka claim that “AWE is the industry’s first fully automated processing tool for audio assets”, and that it has been rigorously tested by “the industry’s best and brightest”. It’s currently Mac-only, but a Windows version is expected sometime in the middle of this year.
