Creating and sharing good audio takes a lot more than a microphone, an app, and a save button. A key editing tool is ...

People mix up the two types of audio compression all the time. Dynamic range and lossy compression are very different things. Dynamic range compression squashes soft-to-loud volume shifts. This form ...

The word ‘lossless’ sounds like it describes audio with no compression used. But lossless audio compression is a thing. Here’s a quick primer. Lossless audio formats use compression algorithms to ...

Why do some tracks grab your attention while others don’t? Well, it’s all about perfecting the right production tools. The secret often lies in mastering the art of compression! It’s one of the most ...

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 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 ...

Google today detailed SoundStream, an end-to-end “neural” audio codec that can provide higher-quality audio while encoding different sound types, including clean speech, noisy and reverberant speech, ...

There are a lot more amplifiers equipped with built-in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) than there were just a couple of years ago. However, while DSP gives users the power to configure and optimize ...

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 ...

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 ...
