Compression

• What is compression?


  A process that reduces data size while retaining original information
• What are the two main types of compression?


  ont>What are the two main types of compression?</front> <back Lossless and Lossy Compression
• Advantages of Lossless Compression


  Preserves original data, guaranteed decompression, robust and stable, unaltered file quality
• Comparison of Lossless and Lossy Compression


  Data integrity, file quality, compression ratio, use cases
• Effects of Lossy Compression on Audio Quality


  Frequency response, dynamic range, noise floor, perceptual loss
• Types of Lossy Audio Compression


  MP3, AAC, Opus
• Advantages of Lossy Compression


  Higher compression ratios, faster compression and decompression, smaller file sizes, improved user experience
• Use Cases for Lossy Compression


  Streaming media, online storage, real-time applications
• Disadvantages of Lossy Compression


  Loss of data, unpredictable results, no guaranteed decompression, artifacts and distortion
• Limitations of Lossy Compression


  Limited bitrate, sensitivity to input data, difficulty in optimizing
• Disadvantages of Lossless Compression


  Lower compression ratios, slower compression and decompression, increased complexity, higher storage requirements
• Limitations of Lossless Compression


  Limited applicability, higher error sensitivity, difficulty in optimizing
• Lossy Compression


  Data compression that discards some of the original data to reduce file size
• Lossless Compression


  Data compression that reduces file size without discarding any original data
