Apparatus and method realizing a fading of an mdct spectrum to white noise prior to fdns application

An apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal to acquire a reconstructed audio signal, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• a receiving interface for receiving one or more frames comprising information on a plurality of audio signal samples of an audio signal spectrum of the encoded audio signal, and
• a processor for generating the reconstructed audio signal,
• wherein the processor is configured to generate the reconstructed audio signal by fading a modified spectrum to a target spectrum, if a current frame is not received by the receiving interface or if the current frame is received by the receiving interface but is corrupted, wherein the modified spectrum comprises a plurality of modified signal samples, wherein, for each of the modified signal samples of the modified spectrum, an absolute value of said modified signal sample is equal to an absolute value of one of the audio signal samples of the audio signal spectrum, and
• wherein the processor is configured to not fade the modified spectrum to the target spectrum, if the current frame of the one or more frames is received by the receiving interface and if the current frame being received by the receiving interface is not corrupted.
