Dynamic Range Adjustment
Dynamic Range Adjustment is a process used in audio and visual media to control the difference between the quietest and loudest parts of a sound or image. By adjusting this range, creators can ensure that important details are audible or visible, even in challenging environments. This technique is commonly applied in music production, film editing, and photography.
In audio, dynamic range adjustment can prevent distortion and improve clarity by compressing loud sounds and amplifying softer ones. In visual media, it helps balance highlights and shadows, making images more appealing. Tools like compressors for sound and HDR imaging for photos are often used for this purpose.
