Abstract
An apparatus for encoding an audio input signal to obtain an encoded audio signal is provided. The apparatus comprises a transformation module configured to transform the audio input signal from an original domain to a transform domain to obtain a transformed audio signal. Moreover, the apparatus comprises an encoding module, configured to quantize the transformed audio signal to obtain a quantized signal, and configured to encode the quantized signal to obtain the encoded audio signal. The transformation module is configured to transform the audio input signal depending on a plurality of predefined power values of quantization noise in the original domain.
