Abstract
The invention relates to a method for quantifying components, wherein certain components are each determined based on a plurality of audio signals and can be calculated by the application of a linear conversion on the audio signals, said method comprising: determining a quantification function to be applied to the components by testing a condition relative to an audio signal and depending on a comparison made between a psycho-acoustic masking threshold relative to the audio signal and a value determined based on the reverse linear conversion and quantification errors of the components by the function.
