Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Hakan Abbas -https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=LossyWAV ; IDK if HALAC could (easily) be adapted to 512 bytes per block.
My idea was more, if one wants to throw a bone to those who want a lossy version of HALAC - then making for it to work with LossyWAV would enable those users to work out settings at their preferred bit rates and see how it compares to other compressors.
Since the compression part is lossless (the lossiness is in the LossyWAV pre-processor), there would be no considerations about audio quality between compressors - speed and size would still be comparable in an apples to apples way.
I got an output with LossyWAV with the default settings. The new data obtained seems to be quite suitable for compression. So it has made the 16-bit data almost 8-bit. However, when I listened to the lossy music, I didn't see much difference.
Of course, in this case, the lossless HALAC is not suitable for these data. However, a good harmony can be achieved with a small change.
