Abstract

A signal transforming method and apparatus which improves the quality of a signal, and a recording medium therefore. This method and apparatus alters the frequency components of an acoustic time signal. By altering the frequency components the characteristics of the acoustic time signal is transformed such that its quality is improved. The alteration is such that the difference in magnitude of attributes of frequency components within a substantially critical band are adjusted based on characteristics of auditory sensing.
