Lossless data compression of digital audio signals is useful when it is necessary to minimize the storage space or transmission bandwidth of audio data while still maintaining archival quality.

[In our Three-Minute Tech series, we tell you everything you really need to know about a technology in three minutes or less.] The day may come when increased storage capacities and unfettered ...

An audio compressor is one of the most important parts of sound design and mixing, but it is also one of the most misunderstood and mis-used. Here Tim Dunphy unravels the mysteries surrounding the ...

Data Compression is one of the most important components of this world, driven by petabytes of data daily. We, as humans, are generating data every second. From walking to running, eating to drinking, ...

One of the problems I have when producing screen cams is that my voice fades at the end of the day, making the tutorials I create less clear. Fortunately, this is a problem I can easily fix in Adobe ...

Encoding digital audio data to take up less storage space and transmission bandwidth. Audio compression typically uses lossy methods, which eliminate bits that are not restored at the other end. ADPCM ...

In a previous article, we discussed analog audio SNR concepts. As mentioned, the dynamic range is restricted at the top by clipping (THD ≤1 percent) and at the bottom by the thermal noise combined ...
