Audio compression for music lovers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Lossy<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the truth about high bitrate lossy compression<\/p>\n

\"lossy<\/p>\n

In the opinion of most people, the word music lover is most often associated with a person who not only loves and collects music, but also appreciates high-quality music, and not only in artistic and aesthetic terms, but also the quality of the recording of the phonogram itself. Just think, a few years ago, an audio CD was considered the standard for music quality, whereas a computer, even in dreams, could not compete with the quality of a CD. However, time is a great joker, and he often likes to turn things upside down. It would seem that quite a while, a year or two passed and … that’s it, the CD on the PC went into the background. Don’t ask “why?”, You know the answer to this question yourself. Everything is to blame for the revolution in the world of computer sound: audio compression (hereinafter referred to as audiolo compression which means lossy compression to reduce the size of the audio file), which made it possible to store music on disk hard, lots of music! In addition, it was possible to exchange it over the Internet. New sound cards have been released, capable of almost “squeezing” studio quality out of a piece of hardware that seems useless in terms of music. Today, even having a computer that is not very smart in performance, having bought a Creative SoundBlaster Live! and remembering that since Soviet times there is a good amplifier and good acoustics, you will get nothing but a high-quality music center, the sound of which is inferior only to very expensive audio equipment (average or even the highest Hi-Fi category ). Add to this the general availability of music files and you understand that you have the power in your hands. And then there is a revolution, and you understand that a compact disc is no longer so convenient, you are fascinated by something completely different: the magic “MP3” signs. You cannot eat or sleep; you are faced with the seemingly insoluble “chicken and egg” question: how to “squeeze” and, most importantly, how to “squeeze” …<\/p>\n

This is where I will help you. This article is the beginning of my new series of informational materials on music on the computer. For over a year developing OrlSoft MPeg eXtension and maintaining an extensive database of MP3 files, I have accumulated a great deal of research on audio compression. It is these studies that I will try to share with you. Many articles have been written on audio compression by different respected authors, so I will try not to write what I can easily find in other sources of information. I would like to put my position on the subject we are considering simply and clearly. We will not consider audio compression to be as compact a tool as possible put audio information on your hard drive (so that you can record so many hours of music there). Yes, compression allows you to record music more compactly, but my goal is to minimize quality loss by converting “pure” audio to compressed audio. This is why only high bit rates and qualitatively compressing encoders are considered in these modes. So it is much more convenient to work with compressed audio – instant access to any track from any album, convenient software for playback. And, of course, the financial issue has not been forgotten either.<\/p>\n

Of the audio compression formats that exist today, in my opinion, three deserve attention: MP3 (or MPEG-1 Audio Layer III), LQT (as representative of the MPEG-2 AAC \/ MPEG-4 family) and a Completely new OGG format (Ogg Vorbis) developed by a group of enthusiasts:<\/p>\n

MP3 is by far the most used of these (mainly because it is free). Let me remind you that it was thanks to the MP3 format that the victorious procession of compressed audio took place. However, as often happens with pioneers, little by little it is losing ground and giving way to new and better formats.
\nThe second format, LQT, is a representative of a new direction of audio coding algorithms, a representative of the AAC family. This is a fairly high quality, but commercial and highly classified format.
\nOGG became widely known to the public this summer and is currently developing rapidly, soon (with the launch of the Encoder and Decoder) it should beat MP3 with better sound quality with smaller file size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
