My favorite features include batch processing and the ability to add a suffix to the converted files. Again, this is a matter of taste as minimum-phase can reduce some of the pre-ringing artifacts that can pop up in some linear conversions I often opt for minimum-phase processing for that reason. You also have a choice of linear or minimum-phase modes. The source material is first resampled to a least common multiple of the target sample-rate, which makes conversion clean, even if it takes longer. r8brain PRO has no sound, which is exactly what I want! According to the manufacturer, the core algorithm conducts all interpolation and decimation steps without any simplification (e.g., simplified anti-aliasing filters or interpolation formulas). Without naming names, I testify that the sample-rate conversion routines in several popular DAWs range from bad to horrible. You have to pay careful attention to the results of the tool you choose for this task. In fact, some downright sound bad-inducing "chirping angels" to "motorboats" to a slight loss of field-width or depth. Not all sample-rate converters are made equal. Within a few days, I was hooked and purchased r8brain PRO, which has more features and better fidelity than the free version. Having an extra machine just for conversions became a pain, so I downloaded the free version of r8brain.

For years, I have been a satisfied BarbaBatch customer however, the well-respected format converter from Audio Ease runs on Mac OS only, and all of my mastering editors run on PC. While it's hard to get excited about a utility, the fact of the matter is many of us rely on these tools on a daily basis. The r8brain PRO application is a high-quality sample-rate converter for PCM audio. Voxengo is a company that has been selling digital audio processing tools online since 2002.
