Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for adaptive downmixing of audio signals with improved continuity. An audio encoding system receives an input multi-channel audio signal including a primary input audio channel and L non-primary input audio channels. The system determines a set of L input gains. For each of the channels and gains, the system forms a respective scaled non-primary input audio channel. The system forms a primary output audio channel from the sum of the primary input audio channel and the scaled non-primary input audio channels. The system determines a set of L prediction gains. The system forms a prediction channel from the primary output audio channel. The system forms L non-primary output audio channels. The system forms an output multi-channel audio signal from the primary output audio channel and the L non-primary output audio channels.
