Codec & Settings Pop-up
CODEC — Use the drop-down menu to choose from a list of
available codecs. Some codecs will not be available, depending
on the host sample rate and the number of channels. For
example, HE-AACv2 is stereo only.
BITRATE — Choose the bit-rate of the selected codec. Some
bit-rates may not be available, depending on the sample rate of
the host DAW and the number of channels. If the bitrate is
accompanied by an asterisk, the codec is resampling the audio
stream.
MODE — Select from the available list either CBR or VBR encoder algorithms for the
selected codec.
QUALITY — Select the quality by which the mode is calculated. The highest quality setting
often causes codecs to re-sample the signal (in which case the bitrate and the quality setting
will be displayed in red). If the codec is resampling, the auditioned signal will not reflect this,
but the encoded signal written to disk will be at the highest quality setting, which is higher
than the auditioned signal. This is the one case where the auditioned signal will not reflect the
written signal.
STATUS — Shows the status and versions of the selected codec.
DECODER OUTPUT (AUDITION) — Output format follows input.
Dither at 24-Bit Level — Only visible if the selected codec is HD-AAC. Select if input
signal is not correctly dithered and truncated to 24 bits.
Dither at 16-Bit Level — Only visible if the selected codec is mp3-HD or HD-AAC 16-bit
mode. Select if input signal is not correctly dithered and truncated to 16 bits.
