	CELT currently provides three ~~types~~ of tuning ~~knob~~.		CELT currently provides three classes of tuning knobs.

	===~~Spectrum~~ details ~~bit allocation~~===		===Bit allocation for the spectrum details===
	The frequency-dependent allocation of bits used to represent the 'details' of each frame's spectrum is by far the most important set of tuneables in CELT.

	===Minimum width of bands===		===Minimum width of bands===
	At low frequencies, critical bands are too narrow to be useful, so CELT imposes a minimum width for the bands. The minimum width is (in MDCT frequency bins) is defined by MIN_BINS in modes.c. The trade off is that for small values, there will be more bands, so more energy data to encode, while for large values, there may not be enough resolution to encode the spectral shape properly.		At low frequencies critical bands are too narrow to be useful so CELT imposes a minimum width for the bands.

	~~===Energy encoding resolution===~~		The minimum width is defined in MDCT frequency bins and is controlled by MIN_BINS in modes.c.

	The last set of parameters is the resolution of the quantizer used to encode the 'shape' of the spectrum of every frame. Ideally the shape of the spectrum would be encoded as as accurately as possible, but every bit used to accurately represent the shape of the spectrum is unavailable to represent the spectrum details. The ~~ear's~~ sensitivity to the exact amount of energy in a critical band is limited, especially at higher frequencies.		If MIN_BINS is set to a small value there will be more bands and as a result more energy data to encode which hurts the encoder's efficiency. If MIN_BINS is set to a large value there may not be enough frequency-resolution to encode the spectral shape in a manner which conforms well to human perception.

			CELT currently provides three types of tuning knob.

			===Frequency-dependent bit allocation===
			This is by far the most important thing to tune. There's a matrix in modes.c called "band_allocation". It has BITALLOC_SIZE lines and BARK_BANDS columns. Each line determines how many bits will be allocated to each critical band at a certain bit-rate.

			===Minimum width of bands===
			At low frequencies, critical bands are too narrow to be useful, so CELT imposes a minimum width for the bands. The minimum width is (in MDCT frequency bins) is defined by MIN_BINS in modes.c. The trade off is that for small values, there will be more bands, so more energy data to encode, while for large values, there may not be enough resolution to encode the spectral shape properly.

			===Energy encoding resolution===
			The last set of parameters is the resolution at which the energy is encoded. The trade off here is that any bit spent on encoding the energy more accurately isn't spent on the residual signal in 1). The resolution is defined in the "frac" array in quant_bands.c. The values themselves are the number of subdivisions to use in 6 dB, i.e. for band i, the resolution used is 6/frac[i] dB.
