Abstract

A method of generating binaural headphone playback signals given multiple audio source signals with an associated metadata and binaural room impulse response (BRIR) database is provided, wherein the audio source signals can be channel-based, object-based, or a mixture of both signals. The method includes grouping the audio source signals according to positions of the audio sources, parameterizing BRIR to be used for rendering, and dividing each audio source signal to be rendered into a number of blocks and frames. The method also includes averaging the parameterized BRIR sequences, downmixing the divided audio source signals using the diffuse blocks of BRIRs, and performing late reverberation processing on the downmixed version of the previous blocks of the audio source signals.
