Abstract
A mixing apparatus comprises a weighting circuit configured to, within a particular control target band, perform weighting amplitude spectra of a priority audio signal and a non-priority audio signal taking frequency masking and time masking into account, an amplitude changer configured to relatively amplify an amplitude spectrum of the priority audio signal within the control target band based on the amplitude spectrum to which the weighting has been applied, a phase changer configured to make a phase spectrum of the non-priority audio signal approach a phase spectrum of the priority audio signal, within the control target band, based on the amplitude spectrum to which the weighting has been applied, and a mixer configured to mix the priority audio signal and the non-priority audio signal after the amplitude spectrum and the phase spectrum are changed.
