Week 5: Dynamic Range

In the lab for week 5 we were asked to open the 'englishwords' WAV file in Soundbooth and work out its dynamic range. Unfortunately though Soundbooth does not use decibels as a measurement, instead using dBFS (decibels below full scale) which results in negative values. As far as I'm aware it is not possible to get a log of a negative number so I could not find out the dynamic range.

The dynamic range of an audio signal is the ratio between the largest and smallest possible values.
