Methods and apparatuses for recording and playing back audio signals
First Claim
1. An apparatus for playing back altered audio signals, said apparatus comprising:
- a piece of consumer electronics comprising;
a user interface;
song display circuitry that displays on a display screen one or more song names of one or more prerecorded songs;
venue display circuitry that displays on a display screen one or more venue names of one or more actual venues;
selection circuitry that receives inputs from said user interface, wherein said inputs correspond with a consumer'"'"'s selection of a displayed name of a prerecorded song and a consumer'"'"'s selection of a displayed name of an actual venue; and
processing circuitry that processes said prerecorded song and a characterization that corresponds with said actual venue into an output signal representative of said prerecorded song being played-back in said actual venue.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for recreating audio signals to sound as though the signals had been recorded in a different acoustic environment are provided. The methods and apparatus may include one or more inputs that receive an audio signal and an input that receives a selected acoustic environment signal, as well as processing circuitry that produces one or more output signals representative of the audio signal being played in the selected acoustic environment. The input, output and characterization signals may be processed and recorded to storage media, either individually or together. In some embodiments, the present invention interfaces with other technology and circuitry and in other embodiments the present invention is a complete stand-alone system, such as a piece of consumer electronics.
