Abstract:
Apparatus including: an audio capture application configured to determine separate microphones from a plurality of microphones and identify a sound source direction of at least one audio source within an audio scene by analysing respective two or more audio signals from the separate microphones, wherein the audio capture application is further configured to adaptively select, from the plurality of microphones, two or more respective audio signals based on the determined direction and furthermore configured to select, from the two or more respective audio signals, a reference audio signal also based on the determined direction; and a signal generator configured to generate a mid signal representing the at least one audio source based on a combination of the selected two or more respective audio signals and with reference to the reference audio signal.

Claim (Index 2):
The apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the audio capture application is further configured to:\n identify two or more microphones from the plurality of microphones based on the determined direction and a microphone orientation such that the two or microphones identified are the microphones closest to the at least one audio source; select based on the identified two or more microphones the two or more respective audio signals; and identify from the two or microphones identified which microphone is closest to the at least one audio source based on the determined direction and configured to select the microphone closest to the at least one audio source respective audio signal as the reference audio signal.
