  2. ADX (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_(file_format)

    CRI ADX is a proprietary audio container and compression format developed by CRI Middleware specifically for use in video games; it is derived from ADPCM but with lossy compression. Its most notable feature is a looping function that has proved useful for background sounds in various games that have adopted the format, including many games for ...

  3. Compression artifact - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact

    Compression artifacts in compressed audio typically show up as ringing, pre-echo, "birdie artifacts", drop-outs, rattling, warbling, metallic ringing, an underwater feeling, hissing, or "graininess". An example of compression artifacts in audio is applause in a relatively highly compressed audio file (e.g. 96 kbit/sec MP3).

  4. Audio coding format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_coding_format

    A lossless audio coding format reduces the total data needed to represent a sound but can be de-coded to its original, uncompressed form. A lossy audio coding format additionally reduces the bit resolution of the sound on top of compression, which results in far less data at the cost of irretrievably lost information.

  5. Comparison of audio coding formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_coding...

    The 'Music' category is merely a guideline on commercialized uses of a particular format, not a technical assessment of its capabilities. For example, MP3 and AAC dominate the personal audio market in terms of market share, though many other formats are comparably well suited to fill this role from a purely technical standpoint.

  6. Audio signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_signal_processing

    An analog audio signal is a continuous signal represented by an electrical voltage or current that is analogous to the sound waves in the air. Analog signal processing then involves physically altering the continuous signal by changing the voltage or current or charge via electrical circuits.

  7. 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

  8. Vorbis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis

    Vorbis has different uses for consumer products. Many video games store in-game audio as Vorbis, including Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Halo: Combat Evolved, Minecraft, and World of Warcraft, among others. [32] Popular software players support Vorbis playback either natively or through an external plugin.

  9. 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.
