Abstract
Generating an audio signal with a configurable distance cue includes the following: receiving an input audio signal that has at least one signal characteristic that contributes to a listener's auditory distance perception; receiving a distance control signal; and changing at least one characteristic in accordance with a distance control signal that is representative of the perceived distance.
Claims20
A system for generating an audio signal with a configurable distance cue comprising a signal characteristic modification module configured to receive an input audio signal that has at least one signal characteristic;
- the at least one signal characteristic contributes to a listener's auditory distance perception and changes at least one characteristic in accordance with a distance control signal that is representative of a perceived distance.
A computer readable storage medium with stored software code that a processor can execute to perform a method for generating an audio signal with a configurable distance cue, the method comprising:
- receiving an input audio signal that has at least one signal characteristic that contributes to a listener's auditory distance perception;
- receiving a distance control signal;
- and
- changing at least one characteristic in accordance with the distance control signal that is representative of a perceived distance.
A system for generating an audio signal with a configurable distance cue comprising a signal characteristic modification module configured to receive an input audio signal that has at least one signal characteristic;
- the at least one signal characteristic contributes to a listener's auditory distance perception and changes at least one characteristic in accordance with a distance control signal that is representative of a sonic distance as perceived by a listener at a listening location.
