  • Methods and apparatuses for generating and using low-resolution preview tracks with high-quality encoded object and multichannel audio signals
    Patent number: 9786286
    Abstract: A low-quality rendition of a complex soundtrack is created, synchronized and combined with the soundtrack. The low-quality rendition may be monitored in mastering operations, for example, to control the removal, replacement or addition of aural content in the soundtrack without the need for expensive equipment that would otherwise be required to render the soundtrack.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: October 10, 2017
    Assignee: Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation

  • Audio compressor, expander, and noise reduction circuits for consumer and semi-professional use
    Patent number: 5185806
    Abstract: Three related embodiments of audio signal dynamic range circuits for consumer and semi-professional audio signal compressors, expanders, and compressor/expander noise reduction systems incorporate certain basic features of professional Spectral Recording (SR) while adapting SR for use with consumer recording media (particularly audio cassette tape) and reducing the cost and complexity of the SR circuitry. In addition, the three embodiments, and particularly the preferred embodiment, provide substantial compatibility with the existing B-type and C-type consumer and semi-professional noise reduction systems. Subjective performance substantially equivalent to 16-bit PCM audio systems is achieved with analog audio cassette tape media.
