摘要: The invention is a method, apparatus and computer readable program for eliminating overflow underflow by re-adjusting or rectifying the audio levels of an signal in those portions where overflow/underflow occurs. In first preferred embodiment single stage scale down solution provided starting end points areas are detected, number discrete sampling along curve between these two adjusted predetermined multiplier order to reduce positive level (in case overflow) negative underflow) each point. Using present invention, new created having no overflow/underflow, yet maintaining former generally smooth shape waveform characteristics, without completely clipping levels. second multi-stage which divided into sections, such that one section may be their levels; while another, (which preferably different than multiplier) Accordingly, constructed with reduced
