Device and a method to process audio data , a computer program element and computer-readable medium

A method of processing audio data, the method comprising the steps of:

• redistributing audio data input signals by generating a first number of audio data output signals (102;
• z1 . . . zM) based on a second number of audio data input signals (103;
• x1 . . . xN);
• classifying the audio data input signals so as to generate gradually sliding control signals (P), in a gradually sliding dependence on types of audio content according to which the audio data input signals are classified, for controlling the redistribution for generating the first number of audio data output signals (102;
• z1 . . . zM) from the second number of audio data input signals (103;
• x1 . . . xN).

A program element which, when executed by a processor, is adapted to carry out a method of processing audio data, the method comprising the steps of:

• redistributing audio data input signals by generating a first number of audio data output signals (102;
• z1 . . . zM) based on a second number of audio data input signals (103;
• x1 . . . xN);
