Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a process for modifying an audio signal. For example, one process for modifying an audio signal is disclosed including the following steps: determining a compression parameter of the audio signal that should be modified; fractionizing the audio signal into different frequency bands; obtaining the values of the compression parameter for each frequency band; and compressing at least a part of the frequency bands as a function of the determined compression parameter. Various other embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a device for modifying an audio signal.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to modifying an input signal. In one example of a process for modifying an input signal, the process includes splitting the input signal into at least a first input part and a second input part, the amplification of at least the first input part with a linear gain to create a first output part, the nonlinear amplification of at least the second input part of the input signal to create a second output part, and summing the first output part and the second output part in order to provide an output signal.
