DSP Anyone?

April 1, 2013 by Shaun Farley

DSP Anyone?

April is here, and with it comes our next featured topic. This month, we're going to be delving into the world of DSP environments...Max/MSP, Pure Data, Supercollider, Csound, etc. These tool-sets all have a bit of a learning curve, but they present an opportunity to do something truly different from the typical processors we use every day.

Does Bit or Sample Rate Reduction Affect Loudness Measurements?

Would bit rate or sample rate reduction affect the loudness measurement of sounds metered using ITU-R BS.1770? Both are practices common to game … [Read more...]
