  2. Dynamic range compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range_compression

    In recorded and live music, compression parameters may be adjusted to change the way they affect sounds. Compression and limiting are identical in process but different in degree and perceived effect. A limiter is a compressor with a high ratio and, generally, a short attack time.

  3. Audio compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_compression

    Audio compression may refer to: Audio compression (data) , a type of lossy or lossless compression in which the amount of data in a recorded waveform is reduced to differing extents for transmission respectively with or without some loss of quality, used in CD and MP3 encoding, Internet radio, and the like

  4. Music theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory

    The Oxford Companion to Music describes three interrelated uses of the term "music theory": The first is the "rudiments", that are needed to understand music notation (key signatures, time signatures, and rhythmic notation); the second is learning scholars' views on music from antiquity to the present; the third is a sub-topic of musicology ...

  5. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    The theoretical basis for compression is provided by information theory and, more specifically, Shannon's source coding theorem; domain-specific theories include algorithmic information theory for lossless compression and rate–distortion theory for lossy compression.

  6. Music and mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_and_mathematics

    Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo , chord progression , form , and meter . The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory , abstract algebra and number theory .

  7. Parallel compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_compression

    Parallel compression, also known as New York compression, is a dynamic range compression technique used in sound recording and mixing. Parallel compression, a form of upward compression , is achieved by mixing an unprocessed 'dry', or lightly compressed signal with a heavily compressed version of the same signal.

  8. Musical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_analysis

    According to music theorist Ian Bent, music analysis "is the means of answering directly the question 'How does it work?'". [2] The method employed to answer this question, and indeed exactly what is meant by the question, differs from analyst to analyst, and according to the purpose of the analysis.

  9. Prolongation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolongation

    In music theory, prolongation is the process in tonal music through which a pitch, interval, or consonant triad is considered to govern spans of music when not physically sounding. It is a central principle in the music-analytic methodology of Schenkerian analysis, conceived by Austrian theorist Heinrich Schenker. [1]
