Methods and apparatus for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques
First Claim
1. A method for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques, comprising:
- triggering by event a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener, wherein the audio mixture comprises at least two audio sources, wherein the request comprises a perceptual angle of the new perceptual location, wherein the request further comprises a defined duration that is desired for transitioning to the new perceptual location;
generating one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing, wherein the separate processing comprises processing a foreground signal differently than a background signal; and
providing the one or more control signals to the processing engine.

Abstract
A method for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques may include receiving a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener. The audio mixture may include at least two audio sources. The method may also include generating one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing. The method may also include providing the one or more control signals to the processing engine.

10. An apparatus for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable to; trigger by event a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener, wherein the audio mixture comprises at least two audio sources, wherein the request comprises a perceptual angle of the new perceptual location, wherein the request further comprises a defined duration that is desired for transitioning to the new perceptual location; generate one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing, wherein the separate processing comprises processing a foreground signal differently than a background signal; and provide the one or more control signals to the processing engine. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes audio mixing techniques on a mobile device, which when executed by a processor causes the processor to
trigger by event a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener, wherein the audio mixture comprises at least two audio sources, wherein the request comprises a perceptual angle of the new perceptual location, wherein the request further comprises a defined duration that is desired for transitioning to the new perceptual location; -
generate one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing, wherein the separate processing comprises processing a foreground signal differently than a background signal; and provide the one or more control signals to the processing engine. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An apparatus for providing an interface to a processing engine that utilizes intelligent audio mixing techniques, comprising:
-
means for triggering by event a request to change a perceptual location of an audio source within an audio mixture from a current perceptual location relative to a listener to a new perceptual location relative to the listener, wherein the audio mixture comprises at least two audio sources, wherein the request comprises a perceptual angle of the new perceptual location, wherein the request further comprises a defined duration that is desired for transitioning to the new perceptual location; means for generating one or more control signals that are configured to cause the processing engine to change the perceptual location of the audio source from the current perceptual location to the new perceptual location via separate foreground processing and background processing, wherein the separate processing comprises processing a foreground signal differently than a background signal; and means for providing the one or more control signals to the processing engine. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
