    摘要: A method for performing gain control on audio signals is provided. In some implementations, the method involves determining downmixed signals associated with one or more downmix channels associated with a current frame of an audio signal to be encoded. In some implementations, the method involves determining whether an overload condition exists for an encoder. In some implementation, the method involves determining a gain parameter. In some implementations, the method involves determining at least one gain transition function based on the gain parameter and a gain parameter associated with a preceding frame of the audio signal. In some implementations, the method involves applying the at least one gain transition function to one or more of the downmixed signals. In some implementations, the method involves encoding the downmixed signals in connection with information indicative of gain control applied to the current frame.

    摘要: There is provided encoding and decoding methods for representing spatial audio that is a combination of directional sound and diffuse sound. An exemplary encoding method includes inter alia creating a single- or multi-channel downmix audio signal by downmixing input audio signals from a plurality of microphones in an audio capture unit capturing the spatial audio; determining first metadata parameters associated with the downmix audio signal, wherein the first metadata parameters are indicative of one or more of: a relative time delay value, a gain value, and a phase value associated with each input audio signal; and combining the created downmix audio signal and the first metadata parameters into a representation of the spatial audio.
