Source-Zip Pro Video - Audio Compression and File Size

This article is part of the Source-Zip Pro Video User Guide

Small results in a Zipped file of the smallest size, approximately 1/10 of the original file in size. The quality goes up with Medium and High however this comes with a marginally larger Source-Unzip file size. Lossless keeps the exact original quality and the resulting compressed file is approximately 1/2 of the original file size.

Which Compression Do I Choose?

What compression mode you choose depends on what the other side needs to do with the session. Small/Low or Medium are excellent for ADR sessions and monitoring, and Large/High is perfect when you want the best quality in reviewing a session. Original/Lossless is recommended when sending a session that needs to be mixed or published immediately.
