Page created to understand how fLaC decompresses the 0 Quiet Frame so it can be incorporated into analAI
Key differences:
- Mid-side compression
Could well be the key
lossless transformation mid = (left + right)/2 and side = left − right.Web References https://www.reddit.com/r/audioengineering/comments/u2t2o4/questions about the way flac works relatively/
Issues:
- Warmup does not appear in wave or raw file which I don't understand as I get the same warmup values in analAI as FLaC seems to produce.
Seems I may have to include additional step for mid side channel de-correlation. lossless transformation mid = (left + right)/2 and side = left − right. Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
