Show Notes
Everything gets streamed these days, and almost all streaming platforms use lossy data encoding: mp3, AAC, OGG etc (OMG!)
And these lossy codecs do a pretty remarkable result of preserving the quality, considering they strip out anywhere between 60-90% of the original data. But it’s not perfect - far from it ! In this show we talk about:
* How your audio can be damaged by lossy data encoding
* Why this happens
* How you can test for it yourself
* Why it’s worth doing
* How it can help you hear the artefacts for yourself
* Whether we should optimise our audio to avoid them and (most importantly!)
* The two simple steps you can take to minimise these problems and help your audio SURVIVE streaming
