Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to separated audio analysis and processing. A system for processing an audio signal is disclosed. The system includes an audio analysis module configured to analyze an input audio signal to determine a processing parameter for the input audio signal, the input audio signal being represented in time domain. The system also includes an audio processing module configured to process the input audio signal in parallel with the audio analysis module. The audio processing module includes a time domain filter configured to filter the input audio signal to obtain an output audio signal in the time domain, and a filter controller configured to control a filter coefficient of the time domain filter based on the processing parameter determined by the audio analysis module. Corresponding method and computer program product of processing an audio signal are also disclosed.
