About
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 Plug-In.
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 Plug-In or the separate Manager application for background batch processing.
"...one of the most useable plug-ins for mastering and mix engineers on sale today."
