Audio Compression for Voiceover

About compression

Audio compression is used to reduce the dynamic range of a recording. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and softest parts of an audio signal. It was originally used to guard against defects when cutting wax and vinyl phonograph records, but generally became useful as a way of increasing the loudness of an audio recording without achieving distortion.

The goal of most compression applications is to increase the amplitude of the softest parts of a recording, without increasing the amplitude of the loudest parts.

Compressor anatomy

Compressors generally all have the same conceptual parts. However, not all compressors present variable controls for all parts to the user. If you don't see all of your compressor's controls here, there's a chance it either has a fixed value (and no control), or is named something else:

I have two code examples that I wrote for best practices encrypting a string in c#. They are both using authenticated encryption. http://stackoverflow.com/a/10366194/637783

# I don't really see any services here. What I see is:
# - Normal HTTP boundary stuff (params flash, redirect).
# - Model creation and retrieval.
# - Warden manipulation, which is an odd done but smells like boundary.
#
# I left all of the HTTP boundary stuff in the controller (and only the
# controller). I moved the model creation/retrieval into simple class methods
# in the models. I moved the warden manipulation stuff into
# ApplicationController (with caveats that I'll discuss inline).

Example of Repository Pattern with SQLAlchemy
# This is a very crud example of using the Repository Pattern with SQLAlchemy. It allows me to completely ignore interactions with
# the database. This is only pulled in whenever I require to persist or retrieve an object from the database. The domain/business
# logic is entirely separated from persistence and I can have true unit tests for those.
# The tests for persistence are then limited to very specific cases of persistence and retrieving instances, and I can do those
# independent of the business logic. They also tend to be less tests since I only need to test them once.
# My take on Mike's source_for method.
# (see http://pragmaticstudio.com/blog/2013/2/13/view-source-ruby-methods)
#
# (1) I named it 'src' rather than source_for (ok, I'm a lazy typer).
# (2) The edit function was broken out as a separate function.
# (3) The edit function is for emacs
# (4) If the method is not defined on the object, and the object
# is a class, then see if it is an instance method on the class.
#
# The fourth point allows my to say:
