Abstract:
1. A bleed simulator system for playing an audio signal to simulate the audio bleed pickup of multiple microphones distributed among a plurality of predetermined virtual spot mic location zones and virtual room mic location zones associated with a virtual sound stage, said system comprising, at least one bleed simulator output; a spot mic bleed simulator which receives as an input said audio signal and outputs a plurality of processed audio signals, said spot mic bleed simulator including a plurality of spot mic processors, each of said spot mic processors having a series-connected spot mic low pass filter, spot mic delay and spot mic attenuator; a reverb which receives as an input said audio signal and outputs a reverbed audio signal; a room mic bleed simulator which receives as an input said reverbed audio signal and outputs a plurality of processed reverbed audio signals, said room mic bleed simulator including a plurality of room mic processors, each of said room mic processors having a series-connected room mic low pass filter, room mic delay and room mic attenuator; and a multiplexer connected to said spot mic bleed simulator and to said room mic bleed simulator, which multiplexer receives said plurality of processed audio signals and said plurality of processed reverbed audio signals, and which multiplexer outputs summed subsets of said processed audio signals and said plurality of processed reverbed audio signals to at least one of the outputs of said bleed simulator system.
