In addition, exhale writes program peak-level and loudness data into the generated MPEG-4 files according to the ISO/IEC 23003-4, Dynamic Range Control (DRC) specification for use by decoders providing DRC.
exhale currently makes use of all frequency-domain (FD) coding tools in the scalefactor based MDCT processing path.
Its objective is high quality mono, stereo, and multichannel coding at medium and high bit rates, so the lower-rate USAC coding tools (ACELP, TCX, Enhanced SBR and MPEG Surround with Unified Stereo coding) won't be integrated.
exhale GUI needs exhale application (exhale.exe) and ffmpeg command line (ffmpeg.exe) to be placed in the same folder as the GUI.
