zplane ppmBatch Overview
zplane ppmBatch is a cross-platform loudness plug-in that lets you normalise up to eight channels of audio across different loudness recommendations. ppmBatch lets you normalize your audio in compliance with loudness standards for different streaming and broadcasting platforms in faster than real-time speeds to save hours of work in the studio and publishing process. With default loudness presets for EBUR128, ATSC 85, ARIB TRB-32, FreeTV OP-59 and ITU-R BS 1770-3 as well as the ability to specify your own, you have full control over momentary, short-term and integrated loudness as well as true-peak, tolerances and loudness range. ppmBatch stores the new compliant files in the folder of your choice and generates individual and summary reports.
Capable of processing multichannel audio simultaneously, ppmBatch can even normalise multi-channel audio which has been exported to mono, accurately processing its loudness with full phase accuracy as if it were an interleaved file. Packed in an entirely customisable interface, you can select which stats are being displayed in the main window to suit your workflow better and with drag-and-drop operation, it's simple to get up and running. ppmBatch is the perfect tool for post-production, archive converting and automatic normalizing of everyday broadcast reports.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionAll-in-one loudness tool
ppmBatch is a cutting-edge audio processor and compliance checker that can save you countless hours of work. The powerful loudness tool scans and normalizes your audio files according to various broadcasting loudness standards, providing you with an easy-to-use interface for analyzing and normalizing your audio assets.
Faster than real-time processing
ppmBatch features faster-than-real-time batch processing speeds, giving you intuitive user feedback about each file's compliance status and processing progress in a clear, easy-to-read interface. You can batch-process your audio files in no time, saving you hours of manual work.
Loudness presets and customisation abilities
ppmBatch comes equipped with default loudness presets for EBUR128, ATSC 85, ARIB TRB-32, FreeTV OP-59, and ITU-R BS 1770-3. You can easily select from our default specifications or define your own, as different distributors specify. You have full control over momentary, short-term and integrated loudness, as well as true-peak limits, tolerances, and loudness range. The setup page can be locked to prevent unauthorized changes to settings.
Multi-channel processing
ppmBatch can process multi-channel audio simultaneously and handle multi-channel files that have been exported into mono. As long as the files have the correct naming convention and channel designation suffix, ppmBatch can process the loudness correctly for the complete multi-channel mix with full phase accuracy as if it were an interleaved file.
Flexible interface and display
Using the display customization tools, you can select which stats are displayed. ppmBatch clearly displays any out specification files in red and completed files in green. Using ppmBatch is as simple as just dragging the audio files you need normalized into the ppmBatch interface, selecting which standard you want and where you want to save the resulting files, then hitting go. ppmBatch stores the new compliant files in the folder of your choice and generates individual and summary reports.
Performance optimisation
You can also control how many of your CPU's processors ppmBatch is allowed to use simultaneously, so you can avoid the performance of other applications from your workstation being compromised.
