    摘要: A method for generating mastered audio content, the method comprising obtaining an input audio content comprising a number, M1, of audio signals, obtaining rendered presentation of the input audio content, the rendered presentation comprising a number, M2, of audio signals, obtaining a mastered presentation generated by mastering the rendered presentation, comparing the mastered presentation with the rendered presentation to determine one or more indications of differences between the mastered presentation and the rendered presentation, modifying one or more of the audio signals of the input audio content based on the indications of differences to generate the mastered audio content. With this approach, conventional, typically stereo, channel-based mastering tools can be used to provide a mastered version of any input audio content, including object-based immersive audio content.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a method for automatic detection of polarity of speakers, e.g., speakers installed in cinema environments. In some embodiments, the method determines relative polarities of a set of speakers (e.g., loudspeakers and/or drivers of a multi-driver loudspeaker) using a set of microphones, including by measuring impulse responses, including an impulse response for each speaker-microphone pair; clustering the speakers into a set of groups, each group including at least two of the speakers which are similar to each other in at least one respect; and for each group, determining and analyzing cross-correlations of pairs of impulse responses (e.g., pairs of processed versions of impulse responses) of speakers in the group to determine relative polarities of the speakers. Other aspects include systems configured (e.g., programmed) to perform any embodiment of the inventive method, and computer readable media (e.g., discs) which store code for implementing any embodiment of the inventive method.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products of automatic de-essing are disclosed. An automatic de-esser can be used without manually setting parameters and can perform reliable sibilance detection and reduction regardless of absolute signal level, singer gender and other extraneous factors. An audio processing device divides input audio signals into buffers each containing a number of samples, the buffers overlapping one another. The audio processing device transforms each buffer from the time domain into the frequency domain and implements de-essing as a multi-band compressor that only acts on a designated sibilance band. The audio processing device determines an amount of attenuation in the sibilance band based on comparison of energy level in sibilance band of a buffer to broadband energy level in a previous buffer. The amount of attenuation is also determined based on a zero-crossing rate, as well as a slope and onset of a compression curve.

    摘要: Methods and systems for generating an audio mix indicative of action sound captured at an event on a surface (e.g., a sporting event on a field) using a microphone array, where the array includes subsurface microphones (e.g., a large number of sub-surface microphones) positioned under the surface, and optionally also other microphones. In typical embodiments, at least one point of interest (“PI”) on the surface is selected in an automated manner, PI data indicative of a currently selected PI on the surface is generated (e.g., a sequence of PIs on the surface is selected, the PI data is indicative of the sequence of PIs, and a most recently selected PI in the sequence is the currently selected PI), and the audio mix is generated in response to the PI data. Aspects include methods performed by any embodiment of the system, and a system or device configured (e.g., programmed) to perform any embodiment of the method.

    摘要: Various embodiments are disclosed for (possibly simultaneously) applying EQ and DRC to audio signals. In an embodiment, a method comprises: dividing an input audio signal into n frames, where n is a positive integer greater than one; dividing each frame of the input audio signal into Nb frequency bands, where Nb is a positive integer greater than one; for each frame n: computing an input level of the input audio signal in each band f, resulting in a input audio level distribution for the input audio signal; computing a gain for each band f based at least in part on a mapping of one or more properties of the input audio level distribution to a reference N audio level distribution computed from one or more reference audio signals; and applying each computed gain for each band f to each

    摘要: Methods, systems, and computer program products that provide streaming capabilities to audio input and output devices are disclosed. An audio processing device connects an upstream device to a downstream device. The upstream device is plugged into an input port of the audio processing device. The audio processing device intercepts a signal from the upstream device to the downstream device. The audio processing device converts the signal to digital data and streams the digital data to a server. The digital data can include metadata, e.g., an input gain. The audio processing device can adjust the input gain in response to instructions from the server. The audio processing device feeds a pass-through copy of the audio signal to an output port. A user can connect the downstream device in a usual signal chain into the output port of the audio processing device. The streaming does not affect the user's workflow.

    摘要: A gain contribution of the audio signal for each of the N audio objects to at least one of M speakers may be determined. Determining the gain contribution may involve determining a center of loudness position that is a function of speaker (or cluster) positions and gains assigned to each speaker (or cluster). Determining the gain contribution also may involve determining a minimum value of a cost function. A first term of the cost function may represent a difference between the center of loudness position and an audio object position.
