Voxengo has updated r8brain PRO, its sample rate conversion software.

r8brain PRO implements sample rate conversion processing in its full: interpolation and decimation steps without exploiting any kind of simplifications; the signal is first resampled to a least common multiple sample rate for improved conversion quality.

Version update 1.1 fixes a minor issue related to EBU BWF data storing in WAV files. This version features a new output bit depth option which forces converter to preserve original bit depth without changing it during conversion. Another new feature is a special option which disables appending the “r8bp” file name suffix to all created files.

Features:

• Reads 8-, 16-, 24-, 32-bit PCM and IEEE files
• Reads both WAV and AIFF files
• Writes 16-, 24-, 32-bit PCM and IEEE WAV files
• Multi-channel file support
• Extensible wave format support
• EBU BWF extensions support
• Linear- and minimum-phase modes
• Batch support
• Automatic normalization
• Supports all standard sample rates

A demo version of r8brain PRO is available that allows you to evaluate all features of the software, but its conversion is limited to the first minute of an audio file. The demo version does not support batch conversions. You may register to obtain either a Full or Light license of r8brain PRO. The Light version offers you a linear-phase conversion mode and up to 48 kHz output sample rates only while supporting all input sample rates. The Full version offers you all features of the software.
