RatHole by EdgeSounds (previously GenieSys RatHole) is a free, one-of-a-kind compression tool that operates without destructive methods and is universally applicable.
EdgeSounds' RatHole, previously known as GenieSys RatHole, is a free compression utility that utilizes a unique self-training neural network concept. This software is specially designed for the nondestructive compression of any files containing 8/16/24 bit PCM or IEEE_FLOAT 32 bit format.
The EdgeSounds compression algorithm is a cutting-edge technology that efficiently reduces the size of packed audio data without altering the bits when unpacking. The compression algorithm considers the bit depth of digital data in the audio file, making it effective on a variety of file types. This includes audio files such as WAV, AU, AIFF, and SND, among others. It can also compress Ensoniq Paris PAS, sample sound banks like AVM Apex bank file APEX, and virtual sampler bank VSB, among others.
The compression ratio of the algorithm depends on various factors, including size, balance between the tone and noise component, bit depth, and fidelity. On average, the compression ratio varies from 36% to 78%, with 48-56% being the average compression ratio. Higher bit depth and fidelity result in better compression ratios.
Aside from being a fantastic compression utility for audio files, RatHole can also be used as a common archiving tool for other file types. The software has a straightforward user interface. Users merely have to select the files they want to compress or decompress using the drag and drop feature.
Overall, EdgeSounds' RatHole is an excellent software option for users looking for a nondestructive compression utility for their audio files or other digital files.
