1. A digital audio processing system for acoustically rendering a three-dimensional virtual environment, comprising
a processor and
memory having stored therein instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
receive listener information, wherein the listener information comprises a listener position in the three-dimensional virtual environment;
receive sound producing object information, wherein the sound producing object information comprises a position of a sound producing object in the three-dimensional virtual environment;
associate an audio characteristic with the sound producing object, wherein the audio characteristic defines a sound to be produced by the sound producing object as a script for synthesizing the sound; and
modifying a level of detail of the sound over time and according to a changing distance between the listener position and the position of the sound producing object by changing the script for synthesizing the sound.
