Apparatus, Methods and Computer Programs for Controlling Band Limited Audio Objects

A method comprising:

• obtaining a band limited audio object comprising one or more parameters;
• obtaining spatial metadata associated with the band limited audio object;
• determining a position of a user;
• and
• using the determined position of the user and the spatial metadata associated with the band limited audio object to control at least one of the parameters of the band limited audio object.

An apparatus comprising processing circuitry, and memory circuitry including computer program code, the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus to:

• obtain a band limited audio object comprising one or more parameters;
• obtain spatial metadata associated with the band limited audio object;
• determine a direction of a display associated with the band limited audio object;
• and
• use the spatial metadata associated with the band limited audio object to control one or more parameters of the band limited audio object in accordance with the determined direction of the display.
