Audio compression can mean two things:

  • Audio data compression - in which the amount of data in a recorded waveform is reduced for transmission. This is used in CD and MP3 encoding, internet radio, and the like.
  • Audio level compression - in which the dynamic range (difference between loud and quiet) of an audio waveform is reduced. This is used in guitar effects racks, recording studios, etc.
