Octiv Releases First Audio Plug-in for Apple iTunes

October 2003 -- Octiv, the audio and telephony innovator, has just released the first audio plug-in ever available for Apple’s iTunes player. The Volume Logic plug-in runs on Mac OS X and provides real-time digital remastering for improved quality of sound. It is available through a public beta program that runs until December 31, 2003. Free downloads are available at: http://www.octiv.com/index.asp?content=iTunes.

Octiv’s Volume Logic plug-in improves the quality of the listening experience by digitally remastering audio in real-time with the same technology used by the pros in the music and broadcast business. Anything playing in iTunes, including MP3s, AACs, Internet radio, or CDs, will be digitally remastered for consistent volume level and spectral balance. Low levels are intelligently raised and loud signals are kept under control, all in real-time.

The Volume Logic plug-in incorporates a state-of-the-art 5-band dynamics processor that examines and adjusts the audio thousands of times a second. Files are not scanned or modified. All the audio processing takes place in real-time while the audio is sent to your speakers or headphones.

Octiv was able to make their audio processing technology compatible with iTunes by working with Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack technology that enables the recording of audio from any application. Rogue Amoeba offers a line of Audio Hijack audio capture utilities for consumers as well.
