Subject: Re: perceptual audio codecs From: Joachim Thiemann <joachim.thiemann@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 12 Apr 2014 09:09:54 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hello again Alberto, I just want to point out that you can get _official_ source code for two low-bitrate audio codecs: AMR-WB+ and EnAAC+, from the 3GPP standards body. They are very descriptively titled TS26.304 and TS26.410 (for AMR-WB+ and Enhanced aacPlus respectively), and can be downloaded from http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/26-series.htm. There are fixed-point versions as well, but the float versions are far more understandable. Enhanced aacPlus - if my memory still somewhat right from 10 years ago - is basically AAC tuned for low bitrate, with bandwidth extension and parametric stereo. AMR-WB+ is a dual-mode LP-based codec, switching between CELP and a transform to code the residual, also with bandwidth extension and parametric stereo. If you look around on the 3GPP website you can also find the source for the ancestors of AMR-WB+ (named, well, AMR and AMR-WB). Since they are designed as purely speech codecs, they are probably not of much interest to you, though I heard that someone did write a MATLAB implementation of one of those at some point. I may be wrong, and I heard about that after I left UdeS anyways...
