Mastered for iTunes

Choose Process > Preview Mastered for iTunes to process your audio using the same technology that is used by Apple when preparing content for the iTunes Store.

You can use this tool to preview your audio and make adjustments as needed before delivering your master audio to Apple.

Please note that the Mastered for iTunes tool is intended for previewing only. Your masters will be encoded by Apple for inclusion in the iTunes Store. For more information, please refer to the following links:

    For each file, the dialog will display the file name of the source file, the destination file that will be encoded, and the folder where it will be encoded. You can click the button to open the destination folder.
