Method for audio processing

A method for audio processing, the method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of input audio objects, and
• processing each of the plurality of input audio objects,
• generating an artificial reverberation signal by:
• generating an adjusted signal, for each input audio object by modifying a gain for an input audio object signal depending on a corresponding distance;
• determining a sum of the adjusted signals;
• and
• processing the sum by a single-channel reverberation generator to generate the artificial reverberation signal.

A method for audio processing, the method comprising:

• determining at least one input audio object that includes an input audio object signal and an input audio object location, wherein the input audio object location includes a distance and a direction relative to a listener location;
• depending on the distance, applying at least one of a delay, a gain, and a spectral modification to the input audio object signal to produce a first dry signal;
• depending on the direction, panning the first dry signal to locations of a plurality of speakers to produce a second dry signal;
• depending on one or more predetermined room characteristics, generating an artificial reverberation signal from the input audio object signal;
• mixing the second dry signal and the artificial reverberation signal to produce a multichannel audio signal;
• and
• outputting each channel of the multichannel audio signal by one of the plurality of speakers.
