Abstract:
A spatial audio signal is received that is associated with a microphone array configured to provide spatial audio capture and additional audio signal(s) associated with an additional microphone, the additional audio signal having been delayed by a variable delay determined such that common components of the spatial audio signal and the additional audio signal(s) are time aligned. A relative position is received between a first position associated with the microphone array and a second position associated with the additional microphone Source parameter(s) are received classifying an audio source associated with the common components and/or space parameter(s) identifying an environment within which the audio source is located Processing effect ruleset is determined based on the source parameter(s) and/or the space parameter(s). Multiple output audio channel signals are generated by mixing and applying processing effect(s) to the spatial audio signal and the additional audio signal(s) based on the processing effect ruleset(s).

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the apparatus configured to determine the at least one space parameter is configured to perform at least one of:\n determine a room reverberation time associated with the at least one additional audio signal; determine a room classifier configured to identify a space type within which the audio source is located; determine at least one interim space parameter based on the at least one additional audio signal, determine at least one further interim space parameter based on an analysis of at least one camera image, and determine at least one final space parameter based on the at least one interim space parameter and the at least one further interim space parameter; determine whether the at least one audio source is a vocal source or an instrument source based on an extracted feature analysis of the at least one additional audio signal, determine an interim vocal classification of the at least one audio source based on the processor determining the at least one audio source is a vocal source and determine an interim instrument classification of the at least one audio source based on the processor determining the at least one audio source is an instrument source; receive at least one image from a camera capturing the at least one audio source, determine a visual classification of the at least one audio source, determine a visual classification of the at least one audio source based on the at least one image, and determine a final vocal classification of the at least one audio source based on the interim vocal classification and the visual classification or determine a final instrument classification based on the interim instrument classification and the visual classification.
