iCheck
The iCheck (Integrity Check) feature provides a shortcut for revealing artifacts of data reduction - essential when encoding mp3 or AAC files
Video
When data reducing your audio with mp3 or AAC codecs, the part that is most affected is the stereo signal. Engaging the iCheck feature will make Impact Twin play back the part of your signal that is only present in either the left or right channel, revealing the artifacts of data reduction in your stereo signal. Thomas shows us some good examples. You can compare the data reduced and uncompressed side audio in the following two .wav files
