<p>Methods and systems for processing audio data, such as spatial audio data, which modify sound characteristics of a given component of a spatial audio signal based on a relationship between a direction characteristic of the given component and a defined range of direction characteristics. A spatial audio in a format using a spherical harmonic representation of sound components is decoded by performing a transform on the spherical harmonic representation, where the transform is based on a predefined speaker layout and a predefined rule, the predefined rule indicating a speaker gain of each speaker arranged according to the predefined layout, when reproducing sound incident form a given direction to provide alternatives to existing methods of decoding spatial audio streams, which focus on soundfield reconstruction. A plurality of matrix transforms is combined into a combined transform that is performed on an audio signal; this saves processing resources of the audio system.</p> |
