A system and method for selectively applying Intensity Stereo coding to an audio signal is described. The system and method make decisions on whether to apply Intensity Stereo coding to each scale factor band of the audio signal based on (1) the number of bits necessary to encode each scale factor band using Intensity Stereo coding, (2) spatial distortions generated by using Intensity Stereo coding with each scale factor band, and (3) switching distortions for each scale factor band resulting from switching Intensity Stereo coding on or off in relation to a previous scale factor band. |
