1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer code configured to with the at least one processor cause the apparatus to at least:
- determine a perception value for each of at least two object orientated signal channels, wherein for each of the at least two object orientated signal channels the apparatus is caused to determine a perception value of an object orientated signal channel of the at least two object orientated signal channels based at least in part on an angular distance for the object orientated signal channel to a defined position,perceptually order the at least two object orientated audio signal channels based on the perception value for each of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels; and
process at least one of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels based at least in part on the order of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels.

13. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium bearing computer program code embodied therein, the computer program code configured to cause an apparatus at least to perform:
-
determining a perception value for each of at least two object orientated signal channels by determining, for each of the at least two object orientated signal channels, a perception value of an object orientated signal channel of the at least two object orientated signal channels based at least in part on an angular distance for the object orientated signal channel to a defined position; perceptually ordering the at least two object orientated audio signal channels based on the perception value for each of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels; and processing at least one of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels based at least in part on the order of the at least two object orientated audio signal channels. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
