PCM audio(Pulse-Code Modulation) is one type of digital audio. Ananalog electrical signalfrom a microphone is converted to digital form. In AV-applications PCM is a data-uncompressed alternative to Dolby Digital technology. PCM is representation of an analog acoustic waveform as sequence of samples...
What file format should my track be in? Which media formats do you deliver? What is Premastering? What can I expect from Audio Mastering? What if I don't like the Mastering / how it sounds? What about dither? Should I normalise my track?
What is audio distortion Distortion as a creative effect Unwanted distortion Types of distortion Why and how we use distortion Distortion can be a powerful tool for audio engineers. In the right hands, distortion can add all sorts of flair to a track, fill out thinly recorded signals, and hel...
Dither is now always applied on 8 bit and 16 bit output. Small quality improvement for MP3 format. Video preview is more stable on OSX. Fixed a bug that notify sound is not played when encoding finished. 6.0.1 (2011-06-30) DVD Audio Extractor now goes cross-platform. The Mac OS X ...
Dither Dither is a misunderstood process, but basically, dither applies a very low-level noise to a digital audio signal that allows, for instance, a 16-bit audio file to retain the dynamic range of almost 120 dB, or effectively 20 bits. We only need to 16-bit dither when we bounce a...
Mastering is the final stage of audio production—the process of putting the finishing touches on a song by enhancing the overall sound, creating consistency across the album, and preparing it for distribution.
Is hi-res playback supported for home, portable and car audio? Yes to all three. A home hi-res library can be mated to a DAC and home audio system, and there are A/V receivers, integrated amplifiers and even wireless multi-room audio systems now with built-in hi-res DACs. Portable ...
Dither is probably a concept that few in the audio space, besides producers and audio engineers, understand too much about. With streaming and Hi-Res content replacing the trusty CD, even less attention is paid to this once cornerstone of audio quality. But with 24-bit Hi-Res on the rise...
identical to the bit-stream reproduced by the system on playback. To put CD quality in context, most professional PCM audio recording systems currently use 24-bit word lengths — resulting in a theoretical 141dB (144 minus 3dB for dither) signal-to-noise ratio — and sample rates of up to...
Without a DSP called DSEE HX AI, audio seems blended with collapsed soundstage. Basically smoother vocals and transient attack is what DSEE HX already had...
