Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec

Audition codecs in real-time

We spend our professional lives making mixes sound as good as they can – and then hand them on for encoding and distribution. Later we often wish we could have made some improvements.

What if there was a way to audition and compare up to five audio codecs in real time? Enter the Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plugin.

Its intuitive display helps you quickly focus on key issues such as codec effect on frequencies, audible artefacts and codec-induced overloads. Optimize your mix for specific formats, such as AAC or mp3, before encoding it using the plugin or the separate manager application for background batch processing.

Features:

1. Real time auditioning & encoding with glitchless switching
2. Supported Codecs:
3. mp3, Apple AAC iTunes+ (Mac only) AAC-LC, HE-AAC
4. MPEG Surround, AAC-LC & HE-AAC multichannel, HD-AAC
5. Select up to 5 codecs for simultaneous real-time encode
6. Batch processing using dedicated Manager application
7. Comprehensive metadata editing
8. ABX mode for blind statistical testing
9. DIFF monitoring; listen to effect of codec on input signal
