iOS Audio Tool

This tool enables planning and estimation of iOS audio assets by taking input properties such as duration, source sample rate, channels, and target encoding parameters. It computes estimated file sizes, suggests compatible formats, and highlights tradeoffs between quality and storage. Conceptually it treats encoding as a planning problem, not an actual encode, allowing teams to compare AAC, MP3, ALAC, and WAV outcomes before production. It supports optional advanced controls like VBR versus CBR, loudness normalization, and channel mapping to illustrate how changes affect size and playback behavior. Typical workflows include preflight asset sizing for app bundles, optimizing for offline downloads, and budgeting bandwidth for streaming assets. The tool exports configuration snippets or reports that can feed into build pipelines or documentation. Unique value lies in real-time, cross-format comparisons, format-aligned defaults, and exportable outputs designed for iOS development and asset management. Use cases encompass asset spec reviews, pipeline planning, and quick validation of storage and bandwidth expectations across multiple target formats.
