A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING AN AUDIO SIGNAL

摘要

An apparatus for processing an audio signal and method thereof are disclosed. The present invention includes receiving, by an audio processing apparatus, coding identification information indicating whether to apply a first coding scheme or a second coding scheme to a current frame, when the coding identification information indicates that the second coding scheme to the current frame, receiving window type information indicating a particular window for the current frame, from among a plurality of windows; identifying that a current window is a long-start window based on the window type information, wherein the long-start window follows only-long window of a previous frame, wherein the long-start window includes a gentle long-start window and a steep long-start window; and, when the first coding scheme is applied to a following frame, applying the gentle long-start window to the current frame, wherein: the gentle long-start window comprise a descending line with first slope, the steep long-start window comprise a descending line with second slope, the first slope is gentler than the second slope.
