Abstract
An apparatus or method to allow a user to control an audio processing operation of an internal and/or external microphone(s). The method includes providing a configurable user interface which defines an audio processing operation. The status of the audio processing operation can be defined through interaction with the user interface. Capture of sound with the microphone(s) may be controlled based on the status of the audio processing operation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, with an apparatus, presence of at least one microphone physically separate from the apparatus, wherein the at least one physically separate microphone is coupled with the apparatus using a wireless or a wired connection;
- providing, with the apparatus, a user interface to be configured with an interaction, wherein the user interface is configured to define, at least in part, an audio processing operation for a sound capture during which at least one internal microphone of the apparatus is configured to capture sound, wherein the user interface comprises a status of the audio processing operation, and wherein the at least one physically separate microphone is used based on the status of the audio processing operation and based on the interaction;
- receiving, with the apparatus, the interaction using the user interface that defines the status of the audio processing operation, wherein the interaction is configured to control usage of the at least one physically separate microphone relative to the usage of the at least one internal microphone;
- and
- providing capture, with the apparatus, of the sound with the at least one internal microphone and with the controlled usage of the at least one physically separate microphone, wherein, at least in part, a first output signal of the at least one internal microphone is processed using a second output signal of the at least one physically separate microphone for the audio processing operation during the sound capture.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, the at least one non-transitory memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- determine presence of at least one microphone physically separate from the apparatus, wherein the at least one physically separate microphone is coupled with the apparatus using a wireless or a wired connection;
- provide a user interface to be configured with an interaction, wherein the user interface is configured to define, at least in part, an audio processing operation for a sound capture during which at least one internal microphone of the apparatus is configured to capture sound, wherein the user interface comprises a status of the audio processing operation, and wherein the at least one physically separate microphone is used based on the status of the audio processing operation and based on the interaction;
- receive the interaction using the user interface that defines the status of the audio processing operation, wherein the interaction is configured to control usage of the at least one physically separate microphone relative to the usage of the at least one internal microphone;
- and
- provide capture of the sound with the at least one internal microphone and with the controlled usage of the at least one physically separate microphone, wherein, at least in part, a first output signal of the at least one internal microphone is processed using a second output signal of the at least one physically separate microphone for the audio processing operation during the sound capture.

- receiving, with the apparatus, the interaction using the user interface that defines the status of the audio processing operation, wherein the interaction is configured to control usage of the at least one physically separate microphone relative to the usage of the at least one internal microphone;
- and
- providing capture, with the apparatus, of the sound with the at least one physically separate microphone and with the controlled usage of the at least one internal microphone, wherein, at least in part, a first output signal of the at least one physically separate microphone is processed using a second output signal of the at least one internal microphone for the audio processing operation during the sound capture.
