For a multi-channel reconstruction of audio signals based on at least one base channel, an energy measure is used for compensating energy losses due to an predictive upmix. The energy measure can be applied in the encoder or the decoder. Furthermore, a decorrelated signal is added to output channels generated by an energy-loss introducing upmix procedure. The energy of the decorrelated signal is smaller than or equal to an energy error introduced by the predictive upmix. Thus, problems occurring for prediction based up-mix methods such as up-mixing signals that are coded with High Frequency Reconstruction techniques are solved, so that the correct correlation between the up-mixed channels is obtained or the up-mix is adapted to arbitrary down-mixes.

An audio decoder comprises a receiver (801) for receiving input data comprising an N-channel signal corresponding to a down-mixed signal of an M-channel audio signal, M>N, having complex valued subband encoding matrices applied in frequency subbands and parametric multi-channel data. A subband filter bank (805) generates real-valued frequency subbands for the N-channel signal. A matrix processor (809) determines real-valued subband decoding matrices for compensating the application of the encoding matrices in response to the parametric multi-channel data. A compensation processor (807) generates down-mix data corresponding to the down-mixed signal by a matrix multiplication of the real-valued subband decoding matrices and data of the N-channel signal in the at least some real-valued frequency subbands. The down-mix data can be used to regenerate the down-mixed signal and the M-channel audio signal. The decoder may compensate for MPEG Matrix Surround Compatibility operations performed at the encoder using real-valued frequency subbands.

An apparatus for processing an input audio signal relies on a cascade of filterbanks, the cascade having a synthesis filterbank for synthesizing an audio intermediate signal from the input audio signal, the input audio signal being represented by a plurality of first subband signals generated by an analysis filterbank, wherein a number of filterbank channels of the synthesis filterbank is smaller than a number of channels of the analysis filterbank. The apparatus furthermore has a further analysis filterbank for generating a plurality of second subband signals from the audio intermediate signal, wherein the further analysis filterbank has a number of channels being different from the number of channels of the synthesis filterbank, so that a sampling rate of a subband signal of the plurality of second subband signals is different from a sampling rate of a first subband signal of the plurality of first subband signals.
