Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program, the method including enabling an output of an audio mixer to be rendered for a user where the user is located within a sound space, wherein at least one input channel is provided to the audio mixer and the at least one input channel receives a plurality of microphone output signals obtained by a plurality of microphones recording the sound space; determining that a first microphone records one or more sound objects within the sound space; and in response to the determining, enabling one or more of the plurality of microphone output signals to be, at least partially, removed from the at least one input channel to the audio mixer.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- enabling an output of an audio mixer to be rendered for a user where the user is located within a sound space, wherein at least one input channel is provided to the audio mixer and the at least one input channel receives a plurality of microphone output signals obtained with a plurality of microphones recording the sound space;
- determining that a first microphone records one or more sound objects within the sound space;
- and
- in response to the determining, enabling at least an output of the first microphone to be, at least partially, removed from the output of the audio mixer based on a pre-determined criteria;
- wherein the enabling of the output of the audio mixer to be rendered comprises providing the output of the audio mixer for rendering to the user, wherein the output of the first microphone is omitted from the output of the audio mixer based on the pre-determined criteria.
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory circuitry including computer program code, the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, enable the apparatus to:
- enable an output of an audio mixer to be rendered for a user where the user is located within a sound space, wherein at least one input channel is provided to the audio mixer and the at least one input channel receives a plurality of microphone output signals obtained with a plurality of microphones recording the sound space;
- determine that a first microphone records one or more sound objects within the sound space;
- and
- in response to the determining, enable at least an output of the first microphone to be, at least partially, removed from the output of the audio mixer based on a pre-determined criteria;
- wherein enabling the output of the audio mixer to be rendered comprises providing the output of the audio mixer for rendering to the user, wherein the output of the first microphone is omitted from the output of the audio mixer based on the pre-determined criteria.
