Claim:
1. A method for processing an audio signal, the method comprising: receiving an audiometric reference profile based on audiometric test results for a first person, wherein the audiometric reference profile characterizes hearing sensitivity of the first person at different frequencies; providing an indication to a listener that the first person is an editor of an audio recording comprising at least one of music or an audio track for video content; receiving an audiometric listener profile based on audiometric test results for a second person different from the first person, wherein the audiometric listener profile characterizes hearing sensitivity of the second person at different frequencies and wherein the second person is the listener; providing an encoded input audio signal of the audio recording that is indicated, by the providing of the indication, as having been edited by the first person to a signal processor; and transforming the input audio signal using the signal processor into an output audio signal, based on an audiometric difference between the audiometric reference profile and the audiometric listener profile so that the output audio signal compensates for the audiometric difference and enables the second person to perceive the at least one of music or audio track more like the first person indicated as the editor of the audio recording.
