5.1 UserInterfaceandWorkflowOverview
The primary purpose of the Pro-Codec Plug-In 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 in real-time, the Pro-Codec
Plug-In allows you to make executive decisions about the best codecs to use. When this
decision is made, bounce your mix/master to WAV/AIFF and encode this file using the
included Manager application.
The latest version of this plug-in also includes the Apple AAC codec (Mac only), which
allows users to directly audition audio that has been produced according to the ‘Mastered
for iTunes’ specification (also known as ‘iTunes Plus’).
