Abstract
An audio processing system may be configured to play a sound source through speakers of the audio processing system. The system may determine a loudness of the sound source as heard by a user of the electronic device. The system may determine a playback loudness for the sound source that matches the loudness of the sound source as heard by the user. The system may author an audio work which includes the sound source. In a playback environment, the sound source is output by speakers of a headworn device at the playback loudness.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- playing a sound source through speakers of an electronic device;
- determining a loudness of the sound source as heard by a user of the electronic device;
- determining a playback loudness for the sound source that matches the loudness of the sound source as heard by the user;
- and
- authoring an audio work which includes the sound source, wherein upon playback of the audio work, the sound source is output by speakers of a headworn device at the playback loudness.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that configure a processor to:
- play a sound source through speakers of an electronic device;
- determine a loudness of the sound source as heard by a user of the electronic device;
- determine a playback loudness for the sound source that matches the loudness of the sound source as heard by the user;
- and
- author an audio work which includes the sound source, wherein upon playback of the audio work, the sound source is output by speakers of a headworn device at the playback loudness.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of loudspeakers;
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing instructions that configure the processor to
- determine a loudness of a sound source as heard by a user of the system listening through the plurality of loudspeakers;
- determine a playback loudness for the sound source that matches the loudness of the sound source as heard by the user;
- and
- author an audio work which includes the sound source, wherein upon playback of the audio work, the sound source is output by a plurality of headworn device speakers at the playback loudness.
