Joint frequency encoding is an encoding technique used in audio data compression to reduce the data rate. The idea is to merge a given frequency range of multiple sound channels together so that the resulting encoding will preserve the sound information of that range not as a bundle of separate channels but as one homogeneous data stream.
Subband coding resides at the heart of the popular MP3 format (more properly known as MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), for example. Sub-band coding is used in the G.722 codec which uses sub-band adaptive differential pulse code modulation (SB-ADPCM) within a bit rate of 64 kbit/s. In the SB-ADPCM technique, the frequency band is split into two sub ...
Dynamic range compression. This article is about a process that intentionally reduces the dynamic range of audio signals. For similar reductions caused by circuit imperfections, see Gain compression. For processes that reduce the size of digital audio files, see Audio compression (data). A rack of audio compressors in a recording studio.
By compressing the silent intervals, the audio files become smaller and easier to handle, store, and send while still retaining the original sound quality. While techniques vary, silence compression is generally achieved through two crucial steps: detection of the silent intervals and the subsequent compression of those intervals.
An audio coding format[1] (or sometimes audio compression format) is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital audio (such as in digital television, digital radio and in audio and video files). Examples of audio coding formats include MP3, AAC, Vorbis, FLAC, and Opus. A specific software or hardware implementation ...
Karlheinz Brandenburg. Karlheinz Brandenburg (born 20 June 1954) is a German electrical engineer and mathematician. [1] Together with Ernst Eberlein, Heinz Gerhäuser (former Institutes Director of Fraunhofer IIS), Bernhard Grill, Jürgen Herre and Harald Popp (all Fraunhofer IIS), he developed the widespread MP3 method for audio data compression.
Digital audio is a representation of sound recorded in, or converted into, digital form. In digital audio, the sound wave of the audio signal is typically encoded as numerical samples in a continuous sequence. For example, in CD audio, samples are taken 44,100 times per second, each with 16-bit resolution. Digital audio is also the name for the ...
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.
