Apparatus and method for reproducing recorded audio with correct spatial directionality

An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer code configured to with the at least one processor cause the apparatus to at least:

• receive from at least one co-operating apparatus at least one audio signal in respect to a sound scene;
• receive at least one further audio signal by at least one microphone of the apparatus in respect to the same sound scene;
• analyse, with the at least one processor, the at least one audio signal to determine at least one audio component relative to the at least one co-operating apparatus recording position;
• analyse, with the at least one processor, the at least one further audio signal to determine at least one further audio component relative to the apparatus recording position
• determine a first position value and a second position value respectively from the at least one audio signal and the at least one further audio signal respectively based on the at least one co-operating recording position and the apparatus recording position;
• determine a sound characteristic difference between the determined at least one audio component and the at least one further audio component, so as to identify which of the at least one audio component and the at least one further audio component represents a higher quality audio recording;
• adjust the first position value in accordance with the determined sound characteristic to the second position value when the at least one audio component represents the higher quality audio recording
• so as to reproduce the at least one audio component with the second position value during reproduction of the at least one audio signal.
