What's new with version 2?

Master for iTunes

Sonnox has just released Version 2 of the award-winning Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-in, which includes Apple's iTunes Plus codec so your customers can mix or master directly for the "Mastered For iTunes" programme, monitoring the same iTunes encoding chain in real-time.

Surround Formats

Version 2 also adds 64-bit support, and Fraunhofer's MPEG Surround codecs, to compliment the existing MP3 Surround codec

Forget the time-consuming cycle of encoding your mix for MP3, previewing it, then going back to tweak the mix, then encoding again and repeating the whole process several times.

The Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec allows you to critically audition and encode to multiple formats in real time within a DAW environment, and includes built-in encoding/decoding features with extensive monitoring tools.

So now you can be assured of the best possible quality, by producing compensated mixes optimized for online distribution, in much less time!
