Abstract
A system for controlling dynamic range of an audio signal comprises an automatic gain control element that receives an input signal having a varying level and outputs a control signal that varies based on the varying level of the input signal and a modified input signal having a dynamic range different than a dynamic range of the input signal. The system also comprises an inverter that inverts the control signal or a block-based control signal corresponding to the control signal in block format. The system also comprises a variable gain element that receives the modified input signal and at least some of the inverted control signal or block-based control signal. The variable gain element also outputs a remainder signal corresponding to the modified input signal as unmodified based on the at least some of the inverted control signal or block-based control signal.
