An audio signal decoder (200) for providing a decoded representation (212) of an audio content on the basis of an encoded representation (310) of the audio content comprises a transform domain path (230, 240, 242, 250, 260) configured to obtain a time-domain representation (212) of a portion of the audio content encoded in a transform-domain mode on the basis of a first set (220) of spectral coefficients, a representation (224) of an aliasing-cancellation stimulus signal and a plurality of linear-prediction-domain parameters (222). The transform domain path comprises a spectrum processor (230) configured to apply a spectrum shaping to the first set of spectral coefficients in dependence on at least a subset of the linear-prediction-domain parameters, to obtain a spectrally-shaped version (232) of the first set of spectral coefficients. The transform domain path comprises a first frequency-domain-to-time-domain converter (240) configured to obtain a time-domain representation of the audio content on the basis of the spectrally-shaped version of the first set of spectral coefficients. The transform domain path comprises an aliasing-cancellation stimulus filter configured to filter (250) the aliasing-cancellation stimulus signal (324) in dependence on at least a subset of the linear-prediction-domain parameters (222), to derive an aliasing-cancellation synthesis signal (252) from the aliasing-cancellation stimulus signal. The transform domain path also comprises a combiner (260) configured to combine the time-domain representation (242) of the audio content with the aliasing-cancellation synthesis signal (252), or a post-processed version thereof, to obtain an aliasing reduced time-domain signal.
