Dynamic range compression

Dynamic range compression is a process used in audio to reduce the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds. It makes quiet sounds louder and loud sounds softer, resulting in a more consistent volume level. This is helpful in situations like broadcasting or recording, where uneven volume can be distracting. By controlling the dynamic range, the audio becomes clearer and easier to listen to, ensuring important details are heard without sudden loud noises causing discomfort. Essentially, compression smoothing out the extremes in audio levels, creating a balanced sound experience.
