What is Arboretum Realizer?

Arboretum Realizer Improves MP3 Sound Quality

MP3 files just don't sound as good as the original CD-quality recordings. Moreover, people are often listening on inexpensive, low-quality speakers. Arboretum decided to use studio magic -- DSP technology originally designed for recording engineers -- to address these problems and improve the Internet listening experience.

How it Works

Unlike conventional equalizers and bass/treble controls, Realizer actually adds missing frequencies and synthesizes new harmonics to recreate the sizzling realism of the original recording.

Arboretum Realizer combines proprietary Bass Maximizer, Harmonic Exciter and Stereo Enhancement algorithms - the same processes found in Arboretum's professional Hyperprism products - in a simple-to-use interface designed for personal music enjoyment. Realizer is completely user-configurable and includes a number of factory settings designed to bring the most out of each musical style.
