Overview

The Batch Processing window allows for the creation of custom batch processing jobs, streamlining the time-consuming task of applying the same processing steps to multiple files. Several Batch Processing jobs can be queued simultaneously and run in the background, allowing the RX Audio Editor to be used for other tasks while the Batch Processing jobs are running.

The Batch Processing window can be opened using the following methods:

  • Navigate to the RX Audio Editor “Window” menu and select “Batch Processing
  • Open the Batch Processing window using the default keyboard shortcuts: Command+B (Mac); Ctrl+B (Windows)
  • Batch Processing Job List

    The Batch Processing job list provides options for adding, renaming, removing, and pausing batch processing jobs.
