This invention relates generally to the field of acoustics and more particularly to a method and apparatus for reverberant sound processing and reproduction which captures both the temporal and spatial dimensions of a three-dimensional natural reverberant environment. The method comprises the steps of generating at least one reverberant stream of audio signals simulating a desired configuration of reflected sound and superimposing at least one pinna directional cue on at least one part of one reverberant stream. In addition, sound processing apparatus is provided for creating illusory sound sources in threedimensional space. The apparatus comprises an input for receiving input audio signals and reverberation means for generating at least one reverberant stream of audio signals from the input audio signals to simulate a desired configuration of reflected sound. A directionalizing means is also provided for applying to at least part of one reverberant stream a pinna transfer function to generate at least one output signal. |
