Audio Encoding
The way that digital files are encoded plays a big part in the quality of the audio, and the ability to get the crisp details of the track across, while trying to keep file sizes down. In our audio encoding services, Transloadit offers a variety of features to maximize file compatibility across platforms, as well as enrich audio with effects, loops, watermarks, and more, to get the most out of your (user generated) audio content.
Features
At Transloadit we call our features Robots because you can put them to work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
