How Does Oversampling Sound?

In the final part of the series about the ins and outs of oversampling, it’s time to look at the oversampling process itself and investigate how it affects the audio, even when no other processing is involved.

Zero-Delay Feedback vs. Oversampling

In the third part of the oversampling series, we look at a case where oversampling is not necessarily the best answer. At the same time, we get a first glimpse at what all the “zero-delay feedback” fuss is about.

Understanding Time-Frequency Segmentation

Humans are great at identifying, localizing and separating different sound sources in a complex mixture, like music. The key to sound source separation is time-frequency segmentation. Sounds great, huh? Let’s shed some light on these buzzwords.

About This Null Test Business

Whenever it’s about the subtlest and most controversial issues in audio, the so-called null test or difference test isn’t far away. Therefor it surely deserves an article on The Science of Sound.

Sound Localization Basics

Creating an illusion of space is a key element of music and sound design. But to be convincing, we need to understand the mechanisms of spatial hearing. The most important component of that is sound localization.
