A computer-implemented method of processing audio data, the method comprising receiving input audio data (x) comprising a time-series of amplitude values; transforming the input audio data (x) into an input frequency band decomposition (X1) of the input audio data (x); transforming the input frequency band decomposition (X1) into a first latent representation (Z); processing the first latent representation (Z) by a first deep neural network to obtain a second latent representation (Z{circumflex over ( )}, Z1{circumflex over ( )}); transforming the second latent representation (Z{circumflex over ( )}, Z1{circumflex over ( )}) to obtain a discrete approximation (X3{circumflex over ( )}); element-wise multiplying the discrete approximation (X3{circumflex over ( )}) and a residual feature map (R, X5{circumflex over ( )}) to obtain a modified feature map, wherein the residual feature map (R, X5{circumflex over ( )}) is derived from the input frequency band decomposition (X1); processing a pre-shaped frequency band decomposition by a waveshaping unit to obtain a waveshaped frequency band decomposition (X1{circumflex over ( )}, X1.2{circumflex over ( )}), wherein the pre-shaped frequency band decomposition is derived from the input frequency band decomposition (X1), wherein the waveshaping unit comprises a second deep neural network; summing the waveshaped frequency band decomposition (X1{circumflex over ( )}, X1.2{circumflex over ( )}) and a modified frequency band decomposition (X2{circumflex over ( )}, X1.1{circumflex over ( )}) to obtain a summation output (X0{circumflex over ( )}), wherein the modified frequency band decomposition (X2{circumflex over ( )}, X1.1{circumflex over ( )}) is derived from the modified feature map; and transforming the summation output (X0{circumflex over ( )}) to obtain target audio data (y{circumflex over ( )}).
