There is no such thing as the perpetual motion. You can either have 10 bits per ADPCM sample at 48kHz or 5 bits per sample at 96kHz. The net bit rate is the same. VLV

Thanks a lot.

Then how about this method?

Encoder:
                    (Interpolation)
48kHz PCM -------------------->96kHz PCM (Note1) ------> For prediction
       |
       |-----------------------------> Encoding the difference with the
prediction value--------->



Decoder:

ADPCM Code------->Inverse Quantizer------>+--------------------------->
                                                                  ^
                                                                  |

|--------Predictor with 96kHz PCM, interpolated


Thanks in advance.

What is "high quality" ?

Poor you.

There is no silver bullet, and there can't be. The prediction gain is going to be about 20dB at 44.1kHz at the best. To have a reasonably good quality, you have to make up for another 60dB at least, and this is 10 bits per sample. A companding and Huffman may allow you to squeeze another couple of bits. Eight bits per sample, and here we go. If you insist on the lower bitrate, then split your bandwidth into several subbands and encode each subband with ADPCM with the different number of bits.

Hi All,

I am preparing to develop an real time audio compression codec for high
quality audio signals. Due to the heavy calculation burden, I will not
adopt MP3 as my compression algorithm.

I get from google search engine that there is an algorithm called
switched ADPCM that can code high quality audio signals.

I would like to hear from some one that what switch ADPCM is or get
some useful web URL for it.

Any comments are welcomed.

Best Regards,
Jesse
