AudioTools ™ AWE for Mac OS X the automated audio workflow engine for editing, format conversion, encoding, plug-in processing and processing through external I/O devices, has the ability to process thousands of files in a single job. Processing chains can be auditioned and saved as templates. Advanced job management features include Watch Folders, a Job Queue that manages any number of sequential jobs, robust failure recovery, and job logs. AudioTools AWE and AWE client-server takes advantage of the full promise of a networked multi-user audio processing environment, including shared access to plug-ins and other resources installed on the server. Users specify input files, configure a chain of processors, set parameters for each processor and run the job. Watch folders monitor incoming files and automatically initiate processing of jobs as soon as the complete file groups are present. All files are processed and placed in the specified output location. AWE provides integrated access to vintage analog processors and external digital processors. The AWE VST host supports both stereo and surround plugins, including Minnetonka’s SurCode™ for Dolby® Pro Logic™ II VST plug-in. Minnetonka will offer a Dolby Digital plug-in later this year.
