Studio One Audio Batch Converter processes existing audio files in a queue. Add your files, choose any required processing, set the output format and destination, then run the batch. Use this workflow for format conversion or repeatable file processing; export a Song mixdown or stems separately when your source is still a Studio One project. For another way to convert finished audio renders, follow the independent UniConverter tutorial below.
Audio Batch Converter availability depends on your Studio One installation and license. The download buttons here are for UniConverter, an alternative for converting already-exported audio files.
The word export can refer to several different tasks. Identify your input before choosing the batch tool.
Use the native converter for existing audio files when it is available in your Studio One installation. The first three stages explain that workflow; the UniConverter alternative follows separately.
When the component is installed and available, open Studio One > Audio Batch Converter. Use Add Files, Add Folder, or drag and drop to build the Source Files list. You can also send files from the Studio One Browser to Audio Batch Converter. Add rendered audio files rather than Song project documents.
Leave the Process Rack empty for a simple format change, or add only the processes and effects the task requires. They run in order, so review the chain and use the Preview Player and FX comparison to hear the result before processing the collection.
Changing a file format does not restore quality already lost to compression. Keep an uncompressed master when one is available.
In Output Format, choose the required Type and enable Resolution, Sample Rate, or Channels overrides only when those properties need to change. Leave unnecessary overrides unchecked to preserve the source properties. Choose a separate Output Location, click Process, inspect the Result Files list, and listen to representative outputs.
If the files are ready and you only need another audio format, UniConverter provides a separate Audio Converter workflow. Import the renders, choose the target audio format, set the destination, and convert the collection. It does not replace Studio One session editing or stem routing.
These controls describe the native file-processing workflow. Their availability and interface can depend on the installed component.
| Control or choice | Purpose | Recommended check |
|---|---|---|
| Source Files | Lists the audio queued for processing. | Confirm the file list before changing settings. |
| Add Files / Add Folder | Imports individual files or a source directory. | Check whether the selected folder contains only the intended files. |
| Process Rack | Applies selected processes and effects. | Keep only the processing the task requires. |
| Process order | Determines the order in which treatments run. | Preview the combined result. |
| Type | Chooses the target audio file format. | Use the recipient’s required format. |
| Resolution | Overrides output resolution where supported. | Do not assume a higher setting recovers missing information. |
| Sample Rate / Channels | Overrides these source properties when enabled. | Avoid unwanted resampling or channel changes. |
| Output Location | Chooses where processed copies are saved. | Use a clearly named destination folder. |
| Process / Result Files | Runs the task and lists the results. | Listen to outputs and investigate errors. |
Before the full batch: Unchecked format-property overrides preserve the corresponding source settings in the native workflow. Review the component’s manual for the behavior of your installed version.
Export the mixes or stems in Studio One first. The following steps convert those existing audio files in UniConverter.
Launch UniConverter and open Converter. Use Add Files / Folder or drag and drop to add the finished audio renders from Studio One. Check the queue for duplicate versions or missing files.
Open the output format menu, select the Audio category, and choose the required format and quality option. Group files by their delivery requirement and confirm the output destination before starting.
Click Convert All. Open the output folder after processing, listen to representative files, and check duration, channels, and file properties. Keep the original renders and Studio One projects for future changes.
Choose a group with a shared output requirement. Separate files that need different handling before applying one configuration.
Create a consistent set of smaller listening copies from approved renders. Keep the master exports for later revisions.
Standardize a collection to the sample rate and channel layout required by the receiving project.
Prepare delivery copies after the final edit, with consistent settings and a clear episode naming scheme.
Convert already-rendered stems only after checking routing, timing, and alignment in the original Song export.
Processing a collection is only complete when its outputs are usable. Inspect a small sample from each source group.
Add finished Studio One renders to UniConverter, choose the audio format and quality your recipient needs, and Convert All. Review the delivery copies while keeping your original masters.
