Neyrinck SoundCode Description

Encode and decode AC3 audio within Pro Tools Tightly integrated with Digidesign Pro Tools software, the Neyrinck SoundCode for Dolby Digital plug-in suite provides mastering-quality workflow tools that enable you to encode and decode Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio directly within Pro Tools software, without the need for dedicated Dolby hardware.Whether you are mixing in surround, delivering surround audio for DVD video, creating a DVD reference disk, or producing a surround-compatible audio CD,decoding audio from a DVD video within Pro Tools, SoundCode provides a range of powerful features to he Faster-Than-Real-Time Encoding The SoundCode Encoder offers a fast way to encode audio as AC-3 and WAV files from a Pro Tools session, ready for use with DVD audio or video authoring applications, CD burning applications, or any other application that uses the Dolby Digital standard. Because the SoundCode Encoder operates as an AudioSuite plug-in, you can encode Dolby Digital faster than real time* to accelerate your workflow. SoundCode encodes to all AC-3 file types, including AC-3 with time code. SoundCode also encodes to 16- or 24-bit stereo interleaved WAV files so you can lay back the Dolby Digital audio to digital tape or create an audio disc for playback on a consumer stereo system that has a Dolby Digital decoder. With the SoundCode Encoder, you can adjust preprocessing settings and add extensive metadata to ensure greater consistency in the presentation of audio on a variety of playback systems. The SoundCode Encoder also gives you the option to import the encoded Dolby Digital audio back into the Pro Tools timeline, where you can decode and monitor it using the real-time SoundCode Decoder. Punch In/Out Capabilities SoundCode includes a time-saving Punch In/Out encoding feature that allows you to punch in fixes to an existing AC-3 file. If you’ve already encoded the audio for a two-hour program but need to replace a single line of dialog, SoundCode lets you encode just that line, without having to re-encode the entire two-hour soundtrack. SoundCode then automatically “punches in” that line to the correct location within the previously encoded file. A Full Range of Decoding Options The SoundCode Decoder functions as either a real-time RTAS or HTDM plug-in, or a non-real-time AudioSuite plug-in. The real-time SoundCode Decoder allows you to decode and monitor audio during Pro Tools session playback. Combined with Pro Tools video playback capabilities, the real-time SoundCode Decoder can be used as part of a mastering-quality confidence monitoring system. Using SoundCode as an AudioSuite plug-in, you can decode all or a portion of an audio file, or view the metadata of an AC-3 file. The SoundCode Decoder offers four decoder modes: line (standard consumer decoder mode), custom (which allows you to adjust the dynamic range compression), RF (for RF television feeds), and data stream (which passes the Dolby Digital data stream and formats it as stereo PCM digital audio).The SoundCode Decoder also provides a wide variety of downmix options and listening modes that simulate consumer listening setups, including mono, stereo, Dolby Surround–compatible stereo, front only, and stereo in which the center channel is mixed to the left and right. The SoundCode Decoder delivers extensive metering for output level, dynamic range compression, dialog normalization, and CRC error detection. Mastering-Quality Workflow Tools The SoundCode for Dolby Digital plug-in provides a full range of capabilities for encoding and decoding Dolby Digital audio.
