Lossy, which includes formats such as MP3 and AAC that you’re very familiar with, is a type of compression in which some data from the original music is removed during the compression process.

For even more control over the contour of your transients, the Attack and Sustain dials each have three Duration modes.

This column is devoted to the basics of audio compression, a powerful signal-processing technique that is poorly understood by almost all of us.

If recorded audio is the starting point, and if so much care is being taken at source to ensure the best possible quality, then why accept any audio process that lessens the creative results of ...

Through compression levels up to 20 dB, distortion remained at a respectable 0.05% or less. Compared to today’s audio processors, there were few adjustments and options to consider when setting up the ...

When we talk about audio processing, normally, we refer to the final, on-air processors for AM or FM or HD Radio. There are plenty of other processing needs around a radio station: The need to make ...

Compression, as the name implies, squeezes or "compresses" the size of a file or data set. Compression techniques are used for voice, video, audio, text, and program data in hundreds of different ...

Suppose on the face value their claims are true about the compression ratio vs fidelity loss - "CD quality audio at 1/10th the current standard data size". That's an order of magnitude improvement ...

There are many more amps equipped with built-in signage processing than there were just a couple of years ago, and that’s great news for installers. DSPs give them the power to configure audio systems ...
