signalsoften
Signalsoften is a term in signal processing that refers to a family of techniques designed to reduce abrupt transitions in a signal by applying a controlled smoothing or softening operation. The goal is to minimize artifacts that arise from sampling, digital-to-analog conversion, or nonlinear processing, while preserving essential information in the waveform.
In practice, signalsoften is implemented by passing signal samples through a monotonic smoothing function, such as
Applications include audio signal processing to reduce clicks and pops during sample-rate conversion or codec transitions,
Relation to other concepts: Signalsoften overlaps with smoothing, anti-aliasing, and soft clipping but differs in its
Limitations and considerations: Overuse can blur transient information and degrade temporal resolution. The technique requires careful
