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

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 ...

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 ...

Meta has announced an AI-powered audio compression method that supposedly delivers ten times better compression than the MP3 format. The audio compression method is called ‘EnCodec,’ which Meta ...

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.

We’ve been hearing a lot about lossless audio lately. Apple Music says it has it. So does Amazon Music. Tidal and Qobuz have it too, but Spotify doesn’t. (Yet. Or still.) Is lossless audio a big deal?

What is an audio codec?An audio codec is a digital signal processing technology used to efficiently compress and decompress audio signals, serving as a core technology that enables the storage and ...

Last week, Meta announced an AI-powered audio compression method called “EnCodec” that can reportedly compress audio 10 times smaller than the MP3 format at 64kbps with no loss in quality. Meta says ...
