Technical discussions related to Audio Signal Processing (digital effects, acoustics, noise reduction, musical signal processing, etc).
Hi, We are implementing an mpeg1 audio encoder in a fixed point dsp but we have problems in migrating the psychoacustic model to fixed point (all the log al pow instructions). Can anybody help us?. Regards, Juan
Hello, You can implement floating point operations in a fixed point DSP. In a fixed point DSP, you need to be careful to avoid loosing precision in those operations.

Juan, This is pretty difficult task. The computations are not predictable in the implementations and you just cannot fix one format for the psycho acoustic model. One way to address the same if to use a block fixed point format in which you can have common exponent component for a block of data which can be dynamic.
