People mix up the two types of audio compression all the time. Dynamic range and lossy compression are very different things. Ex-movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has also worked as a ...

In previous episodes of this long-running series looking at the world of high-quality audio, at every point we’ve stayed in the real world of physical audio hardware. From the human ear to the ...

TL;DR: Encodec is a next-generation audio codec based on a complex neural network design, a system that can squeeze a lot of audio juice into minimal storage space. The codec would work for Metaverse ...

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, ...

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. So ...

I recently received a letter from Tom Lento, a broadcast technology marketing consultant, commenting on my March 5 column about the variance of audio levels in TV programming. Tom writes: "I'd be ...

When Apple sidelined the 3.5-mm jack with the launch of last year’s iPhone 7, it looked like a bold move. But despite pockets of outrage over another clear case of planned obsolescence, it was a clear ...

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.
