TLDR
A brief tutorial overview of parametric audio coding is given and the parametric coder currently developed in the MPEG-4 audio standardisation is described.
Abstract
Parametric modelling provides an efficient representation of general audio signals and is utilised in very low bit rate audio coding. It is based on the decomposition of an audio signal into components which are described by appropriate source models and represented by model parameters. Perception models are utilised in signal decomposition and model parameter coding. This paper gives a brief tutorial overview of parametric audio coding and describes the parametric coder currently developed in the MPEG-4 audio standardisation. Recent advances as well as novel approaches in this field are presented.

Speech analysis/Synthesis based on a sinusoidal representation

TL;DR: A sinusoidal model for the speech waveform is used to develop a new analysis/synthesis technique that is characterized by the amplitudes, frequencies, and phases of the component sine waves, which forms the basis for new approaches to the problems of speech transformations including time-scale and pitch-scale modification, and midrate speech coding.
