A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising a program code for performing, when running on a computer, a method of calculating bandwidth extension data of an audio signal in a bandwidth extension system, wherein a first spectral band is encoded with a first number of bits and a second spectral band different from the first spectral band is encoded with a second number of bits, the second number of bits being smaller than the first number of bits, said method comprising:
- calculating bandwidth extension parameters for the second frequency band in a frame-wise manner for a sequence of frames of the audio signal, wherein a frame comprises a controllable start time instant;
- and
- detecting a spectral tilt in a time portion of the audio signal and signalling the controllable start time instant for the frame depending on the spectral tilt of the audio signal.
