Abstract: A method that includes displaying a user interface (UI) of a three-dimensional (3D) acoustic environment that includes a sound source; receiving a user selection, via an input device, of a location within the UI, the location towards which the sound source is to be oriented within the 3D acoustic environment; determining a set of parameters that define an orientation of the sound source towards the location within the 3D acoustic environment; determining that there is motion of the location or the sound source within the 3D acoustic environment; updating, without user intervention and based on the motion, the set of parameters to maintain the orientation of the sound source towards the location.

Abstract: A bitstream is obtained by a decoder side, that contains an encoded version of an audio signal and an instantaneous loudness sequence of the audio signal. The instantaneous loudness sequence has not been loudness normalized. A dynamic range control, DRC, gain sequence is produced by applying the instantaneous loudness sequence to a DRC characteristic, with loudness normalization. The DRC gain sequence is applied to the decoded audio signal. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Transfer functions can describe responses of microphones or ears to sounds at different locations on a sphere. The transfer functions can be compressed by determining, based on transfer functions, a) one or more basis transfer functions, and b) spherical harmonics coefficients that describe variations of the transfer functions with respect to spherical coordinates. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: An audio normalization gain value is applied to an audio signal to produce a normalized signal. The normalized signal is processed to compute dynamic range control (DRC) gain values in accordance with a selected one of several pre-defined DRC characteristics. The audio signal is encoded, and the DRC gain values are provided as metadata associated with the encoded audio signal. Several other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: A system for producing an encoded digital audio recording has an audio encoder that encodes a digital audio recording having a number of audio channels or audio objects. An equalization (EQ) value generator produces a sequence of EQ values which define EQ filtering that is to be applied when decoding the encoded digital audio recording, wherein the EQ filtering is to be applied to a group of one or more of the audio channels or audio objects of the recording independent of any downmix. A bitstream multiplexer combines the encoded digital audio recording with the sequence of EQ values, the latter as metadata associated with the encoded digital audio recording. Other embodiments are also described including a system for decoding the encoded audio recording.

Abstract: A method that includes receiving a first bitstream that includes an encoded version of an audio signal for a three-dimensional (3D) scene and a first set of metadata that has 1) a position of a 3D sub-scene within the scene and 2) a position of a sound source associated with the audio signal within the sub-scene; determining a position of a listener; spatially rendering the scene to produce the sound source with the audio signal at the position of the sound source with respect to the position of the listener; receiving a second bitstream that includes a second set of metadata that has a different position of the sub-scene; and adjusting the spatial rendering of the scene such that the position of the sound source changes to correspond to movement of the sub-scene from the position of the sub-scene to the different position of the sub-scene.
