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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

A process is used when music is compressed into MP3 to discard all the sounds a machine thinks the human ear can't audibly perceive, thus vastly reducing the amount of storage needed to hold entire ...

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 ...
