Talk:Signal compression

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the 3 steps of PCM are considered: 1. determine the polarity (pos. or neg) 2. determine the range (the value of the y-axis) 3. determine the scale (?)

can anyone explain the "scale" part of the process?

[edit] Don't Merge w/Audio Compression!

They really are two different techniques. Even though the raw electronic processes are similar, the way they are employed are totally unrelated.
