    摘要: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: receiving a near-field audio source signal from a near-field microphone (22); receiving a far-field audio signal from an array comprising one or more far-field microphones (23); determining a filter length of a first portion of a room impulse response filter for the near-field microphone, wherein said filter length of said first portion is the same at each of a plurality of frequency bands of the filter and wherein said filter length of said first portion includes a direct acoustic propagation delay; and determining a filter length of a second portion of the room impulse response filter at each of the plurality of frequency bands, wherein the filter length of said second portion is frequency-dependent.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising means for: in response to user input, selecting at least one sound source of a spatial audio scene, comprising multiple sound sources, the spatial audio scene being defined by spatial audio content; selecting at least one related contextual sound source based on the at least one selected sound source; and causing rendering of an audio preview, representing the spatial audio content, that can be selected by a user, wherein the audio preview comprises a mix of sound sources including at least the at least one selected sound source and the at least one related contextual sound source but not all of the multiple sound sources of the spatial audio scene, and wherein selection of the audio preview causes an operation on at least the selected sound source.

    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program including obtaining a first audio signal from at least a first microphone located at a first distance from an audio source; obtaining a local audio signal from a local microphone wherein the local microphone is located closer to the audio source than the first microphone; identifying the audio source using the first audio signal and the local audio signal; using the identified audio source to determine a delay between the first audio signal and the local audio signal: and using the determined delay to determine the length of the first audio signal and the local audio signal to be made available for processing so as to enable temporal alignment of at least the first audio signal and the local audio signal.
