Abstract
A system comprising: an event detection unit, configured to detect a significant event associated with a video game environment and to selectively output an indication of a detected event; and a separation unit configured to perform source separation on music in playback in dependence upon the indication from the event detection unit, and an audio output unit configured to output for playback audio derived from the result of source separation by the separation unit.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more storage devices storing instructions;
- one or more processors, that upon execution of the instructions, configured to:
- receive an audio signal in a video game environment;
- detect, based on the audio signal, an event associated with the video game environment;
- perform source separation to separate one or more audio tracks from the audio signal in dependence upon the event;
- and
- output the one or more audio tracks for playback.
A method, comprising:
- receiving an audio signal in a video game environment;
- detecting, based on the audio signal, an event associated with the video game environment;
- performing source separation to separate one or more audio tracks from the audio signal in dependence on the detection of the event;
- and
- outputting the one or more audio tracks for playback.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-readable instructions which, when executed by a computer of an entertainment system, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:
- receiving an audio signal in a video game environment;
- detecting, based on the audio signal, an event associated with the video game environment;
- performing source separation to separate one or more audio tracks from the audio signal in dependence on the detection of the event;
- and
- outputting the one or more audio tracks for playback.
