Eym Audio Watermark GUI

Downloading files over the web comes with some responsibilities, since not everything up for grabs is necessarily free, or your to distribute. It can be the case with simple sound effects, and in case you’re afraid personal creations can get stolen from the web, adding a watermark is a good idea, and applications like Eym Audio Watermark GUI are specially built for this task.

The application can be used to either encode, and decode files in order to grab watermark data. No extra components are required, and you’re free to take it for a spin from the moment download is done. The main window only holds necessary controls to trigger one of the two processes, as well as a detailed description box to point out what needs to be done.

Choosing to encode a file brings up a separate panel with all controls. WAV files are the only supported ones, which need to be added through the browse dialog. You’re only able to work on one file at a time. Output field is automatically filled in, but you can easily change it if you want the new file to be saved in a different location.

The applied watermark doesn’t actually come in the form of an audio layer you load from a different file, but rather compiled based on input. This field needs to be filled in with binary values, while the number of additional bytes is shown. You can include a 12-bit time stamp to the data payload.

This type of watermark is applied on either a public layer, which anyone can easily read, or private layer, for which a HEX editor is required. Decoding is the reverse process, requiring a lot less effort. It’s enough to load the target file, and specify the layer to extract, which can be public, private, or other custom layers based on specific code.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Eym Audio Watermark GUI is a straightforward tool with which you can secure your audio projects by injecting additional pieces of code which only you can recognize. Although it can only process one file at a time, the overall operation takes little time and effort from start to end.
