ABSTRACT:
A method for encoding an audio signal, including providing a masking function, representative of psychoacoustic masking; setting a quality value for data of the encoded signal, adjusting the masking function dependent upon the quality value; and allocating bits for quantization of the encoded signal based on the incremental masking function.
