An apparatus for processing an audio signal including a sequence of blocks of spectral values, includes: a processor for calculating an aliasing-affected signal using at least one first modification value for a first block of the sequence of blocks and using at least one different second modification value for a second block of the sequence of blocks and for estimating an aliasing-error signal representing an aliasing-error in the aliasing-affected signal; and a combiner for combining the aliasing-affected signal and the aliasing-error signal such that a processed signal obtained by the combining is an aliasing-reduced or aliasing-free signal.
