Broadcast Audio
convert audio files to the most common formats in one go
Broadcast Audio is built for fast multi-format audio delivery. Drop in AIFF or WAV files, choose the required profile, and let Magnetron generate the set of deliverables you need for online, radio, or broadcast handoff.
- Create multiple delivery formats from a single source.
- Standardize repetitive finishing work for post-production teams.
- Reduce human error during deadline-driven broadcast export.
The recipe starts as a file processor for .aif, .aiff, and .wav files. After file selection, the recipe reads your saved settings, applies the selected output profile, and generates the required formats in one batch.
Available output formats
Broadcast Audio lets you select one or more delivery formats per run. The selected formats are remembered in the recipe settings for the next batch.
