Abstract

Disclosed is a method of adjusting a supplementary data signal (wm(n)) to be embedded in an information signal (x(n)), for example an audio signal. The method comprises the steps of determining (301) a position where a predetermined property of the information signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, e.g. an attack position, and suppressing (302) the supplementary data signal in a predetermined neighbourhood of the determined position.
