This column is devoted to the basics of audio compression, a powerful signal-processing technique that is poorly understood by almost all of us. Once again, I hope you find it useful, or that you can ...

I thought it might be nice to take some time to consider the primary tool we use to cope with audio levels. That would be, of course, the audio compressor. This is a fascinating device. We use it a ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

This mini audio compressor circuit use only one active component T1. The audio signal goes thru C1, R1, D1, C2, R3. Still a part of audio signal charge the D3/D4 detector and creates a control voltage ...
