<p style="color: #224422; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"> Have you ever wondered what is lost when you compress a song into an MP3? This week's guest Ryan Maguire did more than that. He worked on software to issolate the sounds that are lost when you convert a lossless digital audio recording into a compressed MP3 file.</p> <p style="color: #224422; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"> To complete his project, Ryan worked primarily in python using the <a href="http://ajaxsoundstudio.com/software/pyo/">pyo</a> library as well as the <a href="https://github.com/bregmanstudio/BregmanToolkit">Bregman Toolkit</a></p> <p style="color: #224422; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"> Ryan mentioned humans having a dynamic range of hearing from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNf9nzvnd1k">20 hz to 20,000 hz</a>, if you'd like to hear those tones, check the previous link.</p> <p style="color: #224422; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px;"> If you'd like to know more about our guest <a href="http://www.ryanmaguiremusic.com/">Ryan Maguire</a><a> you can find his website at the previous link.
