Abstract:
There is provided methods and apparatuses for decoding and encoding of audio signals. In particular, a method for decoding includes receiving a waveform-coded signal having a spectral content corresponding to a subset of the frequency range above a cross-over frequency. The waveform-coded signal is interleaved with a parametric high frequency reconstruction of the audio signal above the cross-over frequency. In this way an improved reconstruction of the high frequency bands of the audio signal is achieved.

Abstract:
The present document describes a dynamic range control unit (210) configured to apply dynamic range control, referred to as DRC, to an audio signal (211). The DRC unit (210) is configured to downsample a subband signal (212) derived from the audio signal (211), to provide a downsampled subband signal (321), to determine a DRC gain (329) based on the downsampled subband signal (321), and to apply the DRC gain (329) to the subband signal (212), to provide a compressed subband signal (213) of a compressed audio signal (214).

Abstract:
A method for rendering an audio output based on an audio data stream including M audio signals, side information including a series of reconstruction instances of a reconstruction matrix C and first timing data, the side information allowing reconstruction of N audio objects from the M audio signals, and object metadata defining spatial relationships between the N audio objects. The method includes generating a synchronized rendering matrix based on the object metadata, the first timing data, and information relating to a current playback system configuration, the synchronized rendering matrix having a rendering instance for each reconstruction instance, multiplying each reconstruction instance with a corresponding rendering instance to form a corresponding instance of an integrated rendering matrix, and applying the integrated rendering matrix to the audio signals in order to render an audio output.

Abstract:
The present document relates to the technical field of audio coding, decoding and processing. It specifically relates to methods of recovering high frequency content of an audio signal from low frequency content of the same audio signal in an efficient manner. A method for determining a first banded tonality value for a first frequency subband of an audio signal is described. The first banded tonality value is used for approximating a high frequency component of the audio signal based on a low frequency component of the audio signal. The method comprises determining a set of transform coefficients in a corresponding set of frequency bins based on a block of samples of the audio signal; determining a set of bin tonality values for the set of frequency bins using the set of transform coefficients, respectively; and combining a first subset of two or more of the set of bin tonality values for two or more corresponding adjacent frequency bins of the set of frequency bins lying within the first frequency subband, thereby yielding the first banded tonality value for the first frequency subband.
