Download Automatic Mixing: Live Downmixing Stereo Panner An automatic stereo panning algorithm intended for live multitrack downmixing has been researched. The algorithm uses spectral analysis to determine the panning position of sources. The method uses filter bank quantitative channel dependence, priority channel architecture and constrained rules to assign panning criteria. The algorithm attempts to minimize spectral masking by allocating similar spectra to different panning spaces. The algorithm has been implemented; results on its convergence, automatic panning space allocation, and left-right inter-channel phase relationship are presented.
Download Improved control for selective minimization of masking using inter-channel dependancy effects A digital audio effect for real time mixing applications, which dynamically adapts to the multi-channel input, has been implemented. The resulting audio mix is the direct result of the analysis of the content of each individual channel with respect to the other channels. The implementation permits the enhancement of a source with respect to the rest of the mixture by selectivity unmasking its spectral content from spectrally related channels. A masking measurement has also been implemented in order to measure the efficiency of the algorithm.
