1. An apparatus comprising at least one camera, 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:
- determine a viewing angle associated with the at least one camera;
determine from at least two audio signals at least one audio source orientation relative to the apparatus; and
generate at least one spatial filter defining a first orientation range associated with the viewing angle and a second orientation range associated with outside of the viewing angle so as to control a level of the at least one audio source dependent on whether the audio source is located within the viewing angle;
wherein the apparatus is caused to display a representation of the viewing angle on a user interface so as to receive a user interface input that comprises an indication of at least one of;
a spatial filtering region; and
a spatial filtering region gain value.

Abstract
An apparatus configured to: determine a viewing angle associated with at least one apparatus camera; determine from at least two audio signals at least one audio source orientation relative to an apparatus; and generate at least one spatial filter including at least a first orientation range associated with the viewing angle and a second orientation range relative to the apparatus.

21. A method for audio signal adjustment comprising:
-
determining a viewing angle associated with at least one camera; determining from at least two audio signals at least one audio source orientation relative to the apparatus; and generating at least one spatial filter defining at least a first orientation range associated with the viewing angle and a second orientation range associated with outside of the viewing angle relative to the apparatus for controlling a level of the at least one audio source dependent on whether the audio source is located within the viewing angle; such that displaying a representation of the viewing angle on a user interface so as to receive a user interface input that comprises an indication of at least one of; a spatial filtering region; and a spatial filtering region gain value. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An apparatus comprising at least one camera, 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:
-
determine a viewing angle associated with the at least one camera; determine from at least two audio signals at least one audio source orientation relative to the apparatus; and generate at least one spatial filter defining a first orientation range associated with the viewing angle and a second orientation range associated with outside of the viewing angle so as to control the level of the at least one audio source dependent on whether the at least one audio source is located within or outside the viewing angle; wherein the apparatus is caused to display a representation of the viewing angle on a touch screen, wherein the representation of the viewing angle comprises an indication of a respective gain value for at least one of the first and second orientation ranges, and to receive, via a portion of the touch screen caused to display said representation of the viewing angle, a user interface input that comprises an indication of a change in said respective gain value that controls the level of the at least one audio source dependent on whether the at least one audio source is within or outside the viewing angle.
