Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IISOverview
High quality mixing and mastering for everyone
Codec Toolbox is the result of a new Sonnox-Fraunhofer collaboration and an affordable yet invaluable mixing and mastering solution for anyone planning to encode their music for the web. The plug-in is equipped with audio codecs from Fraunhofer, including mp3 and HE-AAC, and the Apple iTunes+ codec, enabling its users to conveniently optimize their music for online distribution to ensure that the music sounds as good online as it does in the studio.
Codec Toolbox consists of two applications: The Toolbox Plug-In for the real-time auditioning of several audio codecs and the Toolbox Manager for metadata support.
The “clip safe” feature ensures clean encoded files and prevents clipping during playback by auto-compensating for any overs during the encoding process.
