Audio compression

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 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.
