Google today detailed SoundStream, an end-to-end “neural” audio codec that can provide higher-quality audio while encoding different sound types, including clean speech, noisy and reverberant speech, ...

Last week, Meta announced an AI-powered audio compression method called "EnCodec" that can reportedly compress audio 10 times smaller than the MP3 format at 64kbps with no loss in quality. Meta says ...

Audio/video editing is often perceived as a complex task. Whether you’re converting clips, adding special effects, or compressing them, you’ll find it challenging unless you have the right tools.

Compression is ubiquitous in consumer electronics. Modern compression algorithms exploit the limitations of human hearing and vision to offer compression ratios from 4:1 for speech and more than 30:1 ...

Suppose on the face value their claims are true about the compression ratio vs fidelity loss - "CD quality audio at 1/10th the current standard data size". That's an order of magnitude improvement. So ...
