3. The Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec
3.1 The User Interface and Workflow Overview
The primary purpose of the Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec is to provide a way of monitoring
your host session material using the highly regarded Fraunhofer encoders, without the need
for offline processing. By auditioning and comparing codecs online, it allows you to make
executive decisions on the best codecs to use and, when all is complete, write the encoded
audio to disk.
The latest version of this plug-in also includes access to the Apple AAC codec (Mac only),
which allows users to directly audition audio that has been produced according to the
‘Mastered for iTunes’ format (also known as ‘iTunes Plus’).
Also contained within the plug-in is a fully featured offline encode window. You can
compress multiple WAV or AIFF files for offline batch processing with the codecs and
settings of your choice.
When you need to import an encoded file into your project, but the host does not recognise
the file format, the plug-in also has an offline decode section. This eliminates the need for
any proprietary applications to be used when importing encoded material into your session.
