Can anyone explain to me how the 18.6ms are calculated in http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...hase_filterbank with regards to the impulse response of the short blocks?

Even more funny:

"At 48kHz sampling rate a long block has a time resolution of about x ms."

???

The bandpass filters of the 32 subband filterbank have a response of 512 samples. The impulse responses of the filters in the MDCT filterbank for short blocks hace an impulse response of 12 but this is at 1/32 of the sampling rate. Now, to get the length of the combined impulse responses: 512 + 32*12 - 1 = 895 samples. At 48000 Hz this corresponds to 18.646 ms. OTOH most of samples (probably the beginning and ending 5 ms -- I havn't checked) are close to zero. So, it's actually not that big a deal.

Cheers!
