The Angry Audio dreamEncoderPro Streaming Engine is a professional audio stream encoder built for broadcasters who demand dependable performance and continuous operation. Designed with a headless architecture, it runs as a background service that starts automatically when the computer boots and is monitored by a built-in watchdog that automatically restarts the service if needed. This Pro version offers a redundancy license and HLS support. Whether you’re broadcasting over the air or streaming online, dreamEncoder delivers reliable, high-quality audio encoding with support for AAC, AAC+, HE-AAC v2, and MP3 formats, along with compatibility with Icecast2, Icecast-kh, Shoutcast2, and AIS streaming servers.
Professional Streaming Management
Manage every aspect of your encoder through the lightweight browser-based interface, accessible from any device on your network. The scalable interface offers both dark and light display modes, while built-in security automatically logs out previously connected devices when a new log-in occurs. Easily create streams, configure audio inputs, manage metadata sources, back up settings, control services, and more, from the intuitive navigation bar or convenient system tray shortcuts.
Flexible Metadata and Audio Control
dreamEncoder gives you complete control over metadata delivery with support for plain text, serial connections for Audiovault, and fully customizable XML templates using the integrated XML template creator. Adjustable metadata timing allows millisecond-level delay changes without restarting streams, making ad insertion and replacement easier to fine-tune in live environments. Support for physical USB devices, Virtual Audio Cables, and WASAPI, ASIO, MME, and WDM drivers provides flexible audio input options, while unlimited VST plug-in support lets you create your own distinctive sound.
Built for Reliable Broadcast Operation
Designed for demanding broadcast environments, dreamEncoder supports unlimited streams to multiple destinations with independent stream control, codec selection, and bit rate configuration. Automatic reconnection continuously retries interrupted internet connections until service is restored, while real-time logging provides complete visibility into stream status, metadata delivery, connection activity, and errors. Available for Windows, macOS, and Ubuntu Desktop, dreamEncoder delivers the reliability, flexibility, and professional workflow on which broadcasters depend.
Pro Version
This Pro version of dreamEncoder has all the same features as the standard version, plus HLS and a redundancy license. The redundancy license allows you to have both main and backup running on separate machines for ultimate reliability. And HLS expands your compatibility and scalability options.
