Designed by MacSourcery and AudioEase, BarbaBatch 2.5 (a batch audio processor) has been nominated in the "Best Audio Software" category in Macworld magazine's annual awards.

MacSourcery President John Pattenden says the nomination is recognition of Barbabatch's reputation as a proven industry leader.

"BarbaBatch 2.5 has set new standards in fast, high quality conversions of digital audio for use in Internet, multimedia and professional production applications," Mr Pattenden says.

"Barbabatch is well regarded by professionals who have come to value its speed, convenient features and reliability. BarbaBatch 2.5 produces  the highest fidelity conversions up to 10 times faster than other audio processing products."
