Claim 13:
14. An audio rendering system for rendering an audio signal for playback in an audio environment defined by a target loudspeaker system, the audio rendering system comprising:
an input configured to receive from a content authoring device:, the audio signal including object audio data relating an audio object, associated object position data indicative of a position of the audio object at a given point in time and object rendering control data indicative of a position modification to be applied, at the given point in time, to the audio object in the audio environment;
loudspeaker layout data for the target loudspeaker system; and
a rendering module configured to render the audio object, at the given point in time, in response to the object position data, the loudspeaker layout data, and the object rendering control data and, in response, output the audio object, at the given point in time, at a modified object position that is between loudspeakers within the audio environment, characterized in that the object rendering control data determines a degree of position modification to be applied, at the given point in time, to the audio object during the rendering of the audio signal, wherein the object position data relates to coordinates in the audio environment.
