Dynamic Range Compression
Dynamic Range Compression is a audio processing technique used to reduce the difference between the loudest and softest parts of a sound signal. By lowering the volume of loud sounds and raising the volume of quiet sounds, it helps create a more balanced audio experience. This is commonly used in music production, broadcasting, and live sound to ensure that all elements of a mix are clearly heard.
In addition to music, dynamic range compression is also important in film and television to maintain consistent audio levels. It allows for clearer dialogue and prevents sudden loud noises from startling the audience. Overall, it enhances the listening experience by making audio more uniform and accessible.
