Abstract
A method of encoding audio content comprises performing a content analysis of the audio content, generating classification information indicative of a content type of the audio content based on the content analysis, encoding the audio content and the classification information in a bitstream, and outputting the bitstream. A method of decoding audio content from a bitstream including audio content and classification information for the audio content, wherein the classification information is indicative of a content classification of the audio content, comprises receiving the bitstream, decoding the audio content and the classification information, and selecting, based on the classification information, a post processing mode for performing post processing of the decoded audio content. Selecting the post processing mode can involve calculating one or more control weights for post processing of the decoded audio content based on the classification information.
