[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 ...

Lossy compression schemes can be based on a source model, as in the case of speech compression, or a user or sink model, as is somewhat the case in image compression. In this chapter we look at audio ...

Real-life data confirms (or contradicts) theoretically derived predictions. In a world seemingly obsessed with lossy compression, lossless codecs also have a place. CPUs’ multimedia-tuned features can ...

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, ...

More often than not, we'd typically process stereo submixes and master mixes using regular stereo processors. And in the case of a compressor, although the left and right channels could be processed ...

Those who started in our field fewer than ten years ago probably don’t remember a time when there wasn’t a streamed version of your radio station available online. When streaming media first became of ...

There are many more amps equipped with built-in signage processing than there were just a couple of years ago, and that’s great news for installers. DSPs give them the power to configure audio systems ...

The history of audio processors for U.S. radio stations can be roughly divided into two chapters. The first, when these devices were a compliance tool for FCC regulations regarding transmitter ...
