Sonnox Codec Toolbox

Codec Toolbox is an affordable yet invaluable Plug-In to encode your music for the internet. We all want our music to sound great in every format, so why not take control of the process?

The product results from a partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute, the body that was significant in creating the mp3 and AAC formats that most listen to today. Audition codecs in real time before committing to encode, ensuring your music sounds as good online as it does in the studio.

Codec Toolbox consists of two applications: the Toolbox Plug-In for auditioning your mix, and the Toolbox Manager for encoding it and adding metadata.
