Crash course to decibels
What decibels actually are, why they're logarithmic, and what that means when you change a level by 3 dB.
Dynamic Score
Making decisions on automated dynamic range compression requires a scoring system that takes three different measurements into consideration.
Audio encoding artifacts
How audio encoders use psychoacoustic masking to reduce file sizes, and why this process creates audible artifacts in compressed formats.
Loudness and normalization
Understanding what is loudness, how it's measured and why standards exist.
Bit depth in digital audio
Understanding bit depth, quantization and why float sample rates are needed.
Audio dithering
How randomization helps to alleviate the effects of quantization.
