In the past I have delivered .wav files to an outside company who have then encoded MP2 (and charged well for it) before sending it to site for installing.I run a B&#038;W G3 for DP, Peak and Pro Tools. From my brief research there is a lot to know about the idiosyncracies of MP2 parameters, but it seems that doing audio encoding is a little more straight forward than video. If I would like to remove the middle step (and offer that service myself) whatwould I need to get set up?Is this something that can be accomplished in a software environment, or is hardware required as well?InSync is a great column by the way.&#8221;Thanks Andrew&#8230;here&#8217;s your answer.Until recently, encoding MPEG-2 files did indeed require special hardware, but that has changed within the last year. A combination of two products from Terran &#8211; Cleaner 5 and MPEG Charger &#8211; allow PC or Mac users to encode all forms of MPEG-2 audio and\/or video on their computers &#8211; taking minimum requirements into consideration, of course. But your Blue &#038; White G3 should handle the job fine with this software. Depending on just how much you&#8217;ve been charged in the past for the service, and how often you need it done, this multimedia software cocktail could do just the trick for you&#8230;however, it&#8217;s not something to buy if you&#8217;d only use it a couple of times. That is, unless you can justify the expense.But Cleaner is a very deep application and has a multitude of uses for those of us working with any type of media files. In terms of multimedia and internet content, it just about covers all the bases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"storecat":[],"itemids":[],"manufacturers":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the Encoding MPEG-2 Audio page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/encoding-mpeg-2-audio\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Encoding MPEG-2 Audio - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Today&#8217;s question comes in from Andrew McKenna:&#8221;I&#8217;m working an audio project that will ultimately go to MPEG-2.
