PWM Compression

A form of audio compressor which uses Pulse Width Modulation to detedmine the energy in the audio signal over time. In essence, the audio signal is sampled at a very high rate, but the duration (width) of the samples (pulses) is adjusted (modulated) to control the average energy over time, and thus provide signal attenuation. When done well, this is the fastest form of compressor with the lowest distortion artefacts.
