1. Introduction
!
The Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec Plug-In is designed for the real-time auditioning,
encoding and decoding of audio signals by the Fraunhofer codecs.
In the past it has not been possible to critically audition and then encode multiple formats in
real time within a host DAW environment. The revolutionary Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec
now makes this possible, and includes extensive monitoring tools and built-in
encoding/decoding features.
With this 64-bit compatible plug-in, mixing engineers can produce compensated mixes
optimised towards specific target codecs, thereby ensuring maximum fidelity. Similarly,
mastering engineers may audition material in the final format, and produce compensated,
optimised masters for final encoding and distribution.
