ABSTRACT:
When encoding an audio signal, the audio signal is first encoded with the first encoder to obtain a first encoder output signal. This first encoder output signal is written into a bit stream. It is further decoded by a decoder to provide a decoded audio signal. The decoded audio signal is compared with the original audio signal to obtain a residual signal. The residual signal is then encoded via a second encoder to provide a second encoder output signal which is also written into a bit stream. The first encoder has a first time or frequency resolution. The second encoder has a second time or frequency resolution. The first resolution differs from the second resolution, so that in a respective decoder, an audio signal with both a high time resolution as well as a high frequency resolution can be retrieved.
