  Subband encoding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Subband encoding is an audio compression technique where the sound is split into frequency bands and then parts of the signal which the ear cannot detect are removed (e.g., a quiet sound masked by a loud one).
The remaining signal is encoded using variable bit-rates with more bits per sample being used in the mid frequency range.
Subband encoding is used, for example, in MPEG-1.

Similarly, subband signal generator 20 generates channel subband signals along paths 21 and 22 in response to an input signal received from path 2 and subband signal generator 30 generates channel subband signals along paths 31 and 32 in response to an input signal received from path 3.
Similarly, subband signal generator 180 generates subband signals along paths 181 to 183 in response to the input signal received from path 2 and subband signal generator 190 generates subband signals along paths 191 to 193 in response to the input signal received from path 3.
The composite subband signal is scaled by the ratio R of the measures for the largest channel subband signal in that particular frequency subband to the composite subband signal, or

 Audio data compression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In contrast to the speed of compression, which is proportional to the number of operations required by the algorithm, here latency refers to the number of samples which must be analysed before a block of audio is processed.
Speech encoding is an important category of audio data compression.
Perhaps the earliest algorithms used in speech encoding (and audio data compression in general) were the A-law algorithm and the mu-law algorithm.

The low-low subband could easily be encoded using a differential encoder since the difference on neighbour pixels is quite low [This is not done due to lack of time].
The high-low band is encoded using a CFDM scheme separately on each row in the image [1 bit per pixel].
The two remainding subbands were encoded with 8 bits per pixel [compression 4 bits/pixel].

 Thesis (K. Lampert) - Chapter 7
The temporal capabilities of the four sets of subband bit allocation scalars were not as useful as anticipated.
The slowness by which the subbands are switched in and out, however, prevents the ear from being tricked into not noticing the missing subbands.
The cost of this is audible quantization noise in the lower subbands (where bits were taken from) and in the upper subbands (where only a few bits could be added).

 Predictive audio encoding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Subband filtering, commonly used in all forms of audio data compression, divides the incoming audio into a specific number of equal width frequency bands.
The four reduced subband outputs, when multiplexed produce a 16-bit apt-X encoded sample, now representative of the 64 bits at the input, a reduction of 4:1.
The reason is that the data errors only affect the differential signal and because the errors that appear in one subband have no influence on the operation of the other subbands.

 Thesis (K. Lampert) - Chapter 5
The subbands with the most noise are given the highest priority and are first in line to receive more bits.
Once the maximum number of bits allowable have been allocated to a subband (now controllable by the first VLBR control) that subband is tagged as full and the remaining bits are given to the other subbands.
The settings for the advanced subband controls are saved in a file called coolmpeg.ini so that they may be restored each time the dialog box is opened.

 Sub-Band Coding
Using 8-bit mu-law encoding would cut our one channel of CD audio down to about 350k bps, which is better but still pretty high, and is often audibly poorer quality than the original (this scheme doesn't really model masking effects).
The masking threshold is compared to the maximum signal level for the subband, producing a signal-to-masker ratio (SMR) which is the input to the quantizer.
The number of bits used to describe bit allocations varies with subband: 4 bits for the low subbands, 3 bits for the middle subbands, and 2 bits for the high subbands (this follows critical bandwidths).

 EZW Encoding
When an image is wavelet transformed the energy in the subbands decreases as the scale decreases (low scale means high resolution), so the wavelet coefficients will, on average, be smaller in the higher subbands than in the lower subbands.
A coefficient in a low subband can be thought of as having four descendants in the next higher subband (see figure 1).
It is in the encoding of the positions where the efficient encoders are separated from the inefficient ones.

Errors are visible in only a very small percentage of the pixels after decoding, and the technique requires only a modest amount of additional space for the subband data, independent of image size.

 AAC beaten at low bitrates, why? - Hydrogenaudio Forums
I imagine that there is a fairly strong positive correlation between a 'challenging sample' for a particular codec, and the bitrate of the encoded file produced by that codec - assuming that you are using a quality based encode (--alt-preset standard, Vorbis -q 6, to name the two which I'm most interested in).
Then, you would practically have generic music, but you have cut out all the easily encoded bits, and just have the more taxing stuff, which could then be used to better distinguish between encoders.
So as I just batch encoded at a certain quality level and then deleted the originals, I later found out shit, I can't trust it to encode at a set quality level.

Oh, and theoretically subband encoders are not as efficient in encoding some signals as transform coders (frequency based vs time based), but I don't believe that is actually what is causing the bitrate increase here, because certainly the jump would not be that high...

 mpc better quality than aac, why actually? - Hydrogenaudio Forums
Also note that for the given encoding speed of MPC, it's performance on difficult samples is also typically much better than that of Vorbis.
There are of course other issues like the lack of widespread hardware support, but none of that is related to the technical attributes and/or limitations of the format itself, but rather are related to "standardization" and marketing of the technology.
For instance, the very first song I encoded to MPC was Another Rainy Night by Queensrÿche from their 1990 Empire release, using the --radio profile.

A pyramid structure of an image is frequently used in computer vision and image coding since the scheme can inherently achieve a successive approximation or multiresolution.
For the critically sampled subband pyramid coder, we are making a choice among memoryless encoding, run-length encoding or Shapiro's zero-tree encoding of the subband coefficients.
For the over-complete pyramid structure, we may use memoryless encoding of the error images or we can apply a transform coding, e.g.

The spread-spectrum subbands are periodic over time/space, failing to utilize more of the available space to embed a watermark message.
Additionally, when relying on frequency masking to boost the encoding level, as proposed by BBN (US Patent#5,319,735), this same masking acts as a weakness which can be exploited in randomization attacks.
