32-bit floating point [43] Pro Tools 11 DAW by Avid Technology: 16- and 24-bit or 32-bit floating point sessions and 64-bit floating point mixing [44] Logic Pro X DAW by Apple Inc. 16- and 24-bit projects and 32-bit or 64-bit floating point mixing [45] Cubase: DAW by Steinberg: Allows audio processing precision to 32-bit float or 64-bit float ...
The dynamic range is much larger than fixed-point but at a cost of a worse signal-to-noise ratio. This makes floating-point preferable in situations where the dynamic range is large or unpredictable. Fixed-point's simpler implementations can be used with no signal quality disadvantage in systems where dynamic range is less than 6.02m.
Digital audio with undithered 20-bit quantization is theoretically capable of 120 dB dynamic range, while 24-bit digital audio affords 144 dB dynamic range. [6] Most Digital audio workstations process audio with 32-bit floating-point representation which affords even higher dynamic range and so loss of dynamic range is no longer a concern in ...
The FPS AP-120B was a 38-bit, pipeline-oriented array processor manufactured by Floating Point Systems. It was designed to be attached to a host computer such as a DEC PDP-11 as a fast number-cruncher. Data transfer was accomplished using direct memory access. Processor cycle time was 167 nanoseconds, giving a speed of 6 MHz.
Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The format was developed by Apple Inc. in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems.
Originally, Hexagon instructions operated on integer numbers but not floating point numbers, [5] but in v5 floating point support was added. [ 6 ] The processing unit which handles execution of instructions is capable of in-order dispatching up to 4 instructions (the packet) to 4 Execution Units every clock.
Having spent less than US$150,000 on development, Radio Shack announced the TRS-80 (Tandy Radio Shack) at a New York City press conference on August 3, 1977. [18] It cost US$399 (equivalent to $2,000 in 2023), or US$599 (equivalent to $3,000 in 2023) with a 12" monitor and a Radio Shack tape recorder; the most expensive product Radio Shack previously sold was a US$500 stereo.
No floating-point arithmetic is used in WavPack's data path because, according to the author, integer operations are less susceptible to subtle chip-to-chip variations that could corrupt the lossless nature of the compression (the Pentium floating-point bug being an example). It is possible that a lossless compressor that used floating-point ...
