Summary:A technique to enhance audio quality of a quantized audio signal when a perceptual audio coder is operating at low bit rates. The perceptual audio coder uses a modified two-loop quantization technique that maintains audio quality at medium to high bit rates while eliminating artifacts at low bit rates. The perceptual audio coder saves vanishing bands by stealing bits from surviving bands to reduce artifacts at low bit rates.
