Encode-Decode Section

This section occupies the lower-middle area of the Toolbox Manager window. It provides
information about the selected file, Encoder settings or Decoder output format settings, output file
name editing, and output file path selection.

1. Name of the selected file – If the file is not in the currently selected folder, click the Input

File Name to reselect its parent folder in the Folder Browser.

2. File Info

• Duration
• Number of audio channels
• Sample rate
• Bit depth or Bit rate (depending on selected file type)
• Input file size
• Output file size. This is dependent on the current Codec settings.

3. Encode/Decode Selection. If a WAV or AIFF file is selected, this panel will display the

Codec Settings Selector. This selector is identical to the one found in the Toolbox plug-in. If
a supported M4A or MP3 file is selected, this panel will display a WAV/AIFF toggle to
choose the decoded file’s output format.

4. Output File Name – Click to edit the name of the output destination file.

5. Output File Path – By selecting the ‘save to input folder’ option, the location of the source

file will be used. By unselecting the ‘save to input folder’ option, a further output path panel
is displayed. Click the browser icon on the right to choose your output location.
