Patent ID: 7583805

Claim:
A method for synthesizing an auditory scene comprising: processing at least one input channel to generate two or more processed input signals; filtering the at least one input channel to generate two or more diffuse signals; and combining the two or more diffuse signals with the two or more processed input signals to generate a plurality of output channels for the auditory scene, wherein processing the at least one input channel comprises: converting the at least one input channel from a time domain into a frequency domain to generate a plurality of frequency-domain (FD) input signals; delaying the FD input signals to generate a plurality of delayed FD signals; and scaling the delayed FD signals to generate a plurality of scaled, delayed FD signals, and wherein: the FD input signals are delayed based on inter-channel time difference (ICTD) data; and the delayed FD signals are scaled based on inter-channel level difference (ICLD) and inter-channel correlation (ICC) data.
