While being disturbed by environmental noises, the acoustic masking technique is a conventional way to reduce the annoyance in audio engineering that seeks to cover up the noises with other dominant yet less intrusive sounds. However, misalignment between the dominant sound and the noise—such as mis…
We present a method to maintain the subjective perception of volume of audio signals and, at the same time, reduce their absolute peak value. We focus on achieving this without compromising the perceived audio quality. This is specially useful, for example, to maximize the perceived reproduction lev…
Traditional data acquisition systems rely on sampling of bandlimited signals at uniformly spaced time instants with high-precision amplitude representation. Amplitude sampling, as previously introduced by the authors, is based on uniform amplitude sampling with high precision timing information. Thi…
