    摘要: Fig. 1 illustrates an apparatus for encoding a first channel and a second channel of an audio input signal comprising two or more channels to obtain an encoded audio signal according to an embodiment. The apparatus comprises a normalizer (110) configured to determine a normalization value for the audio input signal depending on the first channel of the audio input signal and depending on the second channel of the audio input signal, wherein the normalizer (110) is configured to determine a first channel and a second channel of a normalized audio signal by modifying, depending on the normalization value, at least one of the first channel and the second channel of the audio input signal. Moreover, the apparatus comprises an encoding unit (120) being configured to generate a processed audio signal having a first channel and a second channel, such that one or more spectral bands of the first channel of the processed audio signal are one or more spectral bands of the first channel of the normalized audio signal, such that one or more spectral bands of the second channel of the processed audio signal are one or more spectral bands of the second channel of the normalized audio signal, such that at least one spectral band of the first channel of the processed audio signal is a spectral band of a mid signal depending on a spectral band of the first channel of the normalized audio signal and depending on a spectral band of the second channel of the normalized audio signal, and such that at least one spectral band of the second channel of the processed audio signal is a spectral band of a side signal depending on a spectral band of the first channel of the normalized audio signal and depending on a spectral band of the second channel of the normalized audio signal. The encoding unit (120) is configured to encode the processed audio signal to obtain the encoded audio signal.

    摘要: An apparatus for generating a separated audio signal from an audio input signal is provided. The audio input signal comprises a target audio signal portion and a residual audio signal portion. The residual audio signal portion indicates a residual between the audio input signal and the target audio signal portion. The apparatus comprises a source separator (110), a determining module (120) and a signal processor (130). The source separator (110) is configured to determine an estimated target signal which depends on the audio input signal, the estimated target signal being an estimate of a signal that only comprises the target audio signal portion. The determining module (120) is configured to determine one or more result values depending on an estimated sound quality of the estimated target signal to obtain one or more parameter values, wherein the one or more parameter values are the one or more result values or depend on the one or more result values. The signal processor (130) is configured to generate the separated audio signal depending on the one or more parameter values and depending on at least one of the estimated target signal and the audio input signal and an estimated residual signal, the estimated residual signal being an estimate of a signal that only comprises the residual audio signal portion.
