Patent ID: 8731913

Claim:
A method for performing an overlap-add operation for transitioning from a first segment of an audio signal to a second segment of the audio signal, comprising: adding a correlated component of the first segment to a correlated component of the second segment to generate a combined correlated component, including multiplying the correlated component of the first segment by a first fade-out window to generate a first product, multiplying the correlated component of the second segment by a first fade-in window to generate a second product, and adding the first product to the second product to generate the combined correlated component; adding an uncorrelated component of the first segment to an uncorrelated component of the second segment to generate a combined uncorrelated component, including multiplying the uncorrelated component of the first segment by a second fade-out window to generate a third product; multiplying the uncorrelated component of the second segment by a second fade-in window to generate a fourth product; and adding the third product to the fourth product to generate the combined uncorrelated component; and adding, using at least one processor, the combined correlated component to the combined uncorrelated component to generate an overlapped signal.
