Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus and method for audio encoding/decoding that is robust against coding distortion in a transition section. An audio encoding method includes outputting a frequency domain signal by time-to-frequency (T/F) transform of an input signal, outputting a frequency domain residual signal in which a frequency axis envelope is removed from the frequency domain signal by applying frequency domain noise shaping (FDNS) encoding to the frequency domain signal, outputting a time domain residual signal in which a time axis envelope is removed by performing linear prediction coefficient (LPC) analysis based on the frequency domain residual signal, and quantizing and transmitting the time domain residual signal.
