Description
The Oxford Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plugin by Sonnox offers precision and control for encoding audio to industry-standard formats like MP3 and AAC, making it an essential tool for professional music production, mastering, and broadcasting. Developed with Fraunhofer IIS, the creators of the MP3 format, this plugin allows you to monitor audio in real-time with exceptional accuracy, minimizing artifacts and preserving audio quality across formats.
Designed to solve common issues in audio encoding, the Pro-Codec provides an intuitive solution for A/B comparisons between codecs, offering instant feedback on the impact of encoding on your mix. Its advanced analysis tools, including a Bitstream Meters and Codec Artifact Meters, reveal how compression affects your audio, enabling you to make adjustments that maintain clarity and depth. With the ability to audition up to five codecs simultaneously, this plugin is ideal for users aiming to meet specific codec requirements without sacrificing the sonic integrity of their work.
Tailored for producers, engineers, and audio professionals seeking high fidelity across various platforms, the Oxford Fraunhofer Pro-Codec ensures your tracks sound their best on streaming services, downloads, and digital distribution, providing unmatched transparency, flexibility, and reliability.
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.
