Spatial audio for interactive audio environments

A device comprising:

• one or more speakers;
• one or more processors configured to perform a method comprising:
• determining, based on a location of a sound source in a virtual environment, a first intermediate audio signal corresponding to an input audio signal;
• associating the first intermediate audio signal with a first bus;
• determining a distance between the location of the sound source and a location of a listener;
• determining a second intermediate audio signal, the second intermediate audio signal associated with a reverberation of the input audio signal in the virtual environment;
• associating the second intermediate audio signal with a second bus;
• adjusting a gain of the second bus based on the distance;
• and
• presenting, via the first bus, the second bus, and the speakers, an output audio signal to the listener.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• determining, based on a location of a sound source in a virtual environment, a first intermediate audio signal corresponding to an input audio signal;
• associating the first intermediate audio signal with a first bus;
• determining a distance between the location of the sound source and a location of a listener;
• determining a second intermediate audio signal, the second intermediate audio signal associated with a reverberation of the input audio signal in the virtual environment;
• associating the second intermediate audio signal with a second bus;
• adjusting a gain of the second bus based on the distance;
• and
• presenting, via the first bus and the second bus, an output audio signal to the listener.
