Rendering of reverberation with configurable initial characteristics

An apparatus for applying reverberation to at least one audio signal, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system at least to perform:

• obtaining the at least one audio signal;
• obtaining at least three reverberation parameters based on obtaining reverberation configuration information and directional configuration information;
• controlling a reverberator using the at least three reverberation parameters for providing a reverberant audio signal using the at least one audio signal, based on the at least three reverberation parameters, the reverberant audio signal comprising at least a late reverberation part;
• processing at least a portion of the reverberant audio signal, the portion of the reverberant audio signal at least partially interfering with a reflection audio signal;
• and
• generating a binaural output audio signal, the binaural output audio signal comprising the processed reverberant audio signal.
