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.

Real-life data confirms (or contradicts) theoretically derived predictions. In a world seemingly obsessed with lossy compression, lossless codecs also have a place. CPUs’ multimedia-tuned features can ...

[In our Three-Minute Tech series, we tell you everything you really need to know about a technology in three minutes or less.] The day may come when increased storage capacities and unfettered ...

Data Compression is one of the most important components of this world, driven by petabytes of data daily. We, as humans, are generating data every second. From walking to running, eating to drinking, ...

In the previous articles of this series, we covered compression types and their benefits. In part three, we discuss how to actually use them. By Shawn Skead. When it comes to plugins, it seems like it ...

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 ...

The MP3 revolution, and to a certain extent the iPod, ushered in a fast food-like era for music consumption. High-resolution audio (HRA) represents the fine-dining counterpunch to compressed audio. It ...
