Abstract:
An apparatus for encoding a multi-channel signal including at least two channels includes a time-spectral converter for converting sequences of blocks of sampling values of the at least two channels into a frequency domain representation having sequences of blocks of spectral values for the at least two channels; a multi-channel processor for applying a joint multi-channel processing to the sequences of blocks of spectral values to obtain at least one result sequence of blocks of spectral values including information related to the at least two channels; a spectral-time converter for converting the result sequence of blocks of spectral values into a time domain representation including an output sequence of blocks of sampling values; and a core encoder for encoding the output sequence of blocks of sampling values to obtain an encoded multi-channel signal.

Claim (Index 11):
Apparatus of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to use a synthesis window providing a time resolution being higher than two times a length of a core encoder frame, wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to use the synthesis window for generating blocks of output samples and to perform an overlap-add operation, wherein all samples in a look-ahead portion of the core encoder are calculated using the overlap-add operation, or wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to apply a look-ahead operation to the output samples for core encoding output samples located in time before the portion, wherein the look-ahead portion does not comprise a second portion of samples of the second block.
