Abstract
The present technology relates to a sound processing apparatus, a method, and a program that can reproduce an acoustic field more appropriately. A sound source position correction unit corrects sound source position information indicating a position of each object sound source, on the basis of a hearing position of a sound, and derives corrected sound source position information. A reproduction area control unit calculates, on a basis of an object sound source signal of a sound of an object sound source, the hearing position, and corrected sound source position information obtained by the correction, a spatial frequency spectrum such that a reproduction area is adjusted in accordance with the hearing position provided inside a spherical or annular speaker array. The present technology can be applied to a sound processing apparatus.
