Data processing method and data processing apparatus

A data processing method that reproduces data signals of a plurality of devices that utilize different protocols from each other, the data processing method comprising:

• receiving multitrack audio data in which audio data of a plurality of channels is stored;
• and
• reproducing the received multitrack audio data by:
• reproducing a first data string stored in a first channel of the plurality of channels as a digital audio signal of a first device of the plurality of devices that utilizes a first protocol;
• and
• reproducing a second data string stored in a second channel of the plurality of channels as a digital signal, related to the digital audio signal, of a second device of the plurality of devices that utilizes a second protocol different from the first protocol.

A data processing apparatus that receives data signals from a plurality of devices that utilize different protocols from each other, the data processing apparatus comprising:

• a communication interface configured to receive data signals, respectively, from each of the plurality of devices;
• and
• a processor configured to generate multitrack audio data in which audio data of a plurality of channels is stored,
• wherein to generate the multitrack audio data in which the audio data of the plurality of channels is stored, the processor is configured to:
• store a first data string of a digital audio signal, received from a first device of the plurality of devices that utilizes a first protocol, in a first channel of the plurality of channels;
• and
• store a data string of a digital signal, related to the digital audio signal and received from a second device of the plurality of devices that utilizes a second protocol different from the first protocol, as a second data string of the digital audio signal in a second channel of the plurality of channels.
