How To – Batch processing with MrsWatson (by Teragon audio) and FLUX:: plugins
All Flux:: plugins can be setup for batch processing using MrsWatson, a command-line audio plugin host supporting VST 2.x plugins.

- In the Flux:: plug-in preset manager (not the host preset manager), navigate to the User preset tab, select the preset, then click “Set as default”.
- Then close your audio host application.
- Download MrsWatson application from http://teragonaudio.com/MrsWatson.html and unzip the downloaded file.
- Open the command tool (Windows) or Terminal (MacOSX)
