Abstract
A computer-implemented method for audio signal processing involves receiving an input audio signal, obtaining reverberation parameters associated with two distinct acoustic environments, and simultaneously generating early reflections signals for each acoustic environment. These early reflections signals are then combined through a fading process to create a continuous transitional early reflections signal, which transitions between the two environments according to the fading process. Additionally, a reverberation tail is generated and combined with the transitional early reflections signal. The output audio signal is provided as a combination of the direct input audio signal, the transitional early reflections signal, and the reverberation tail signal, which is switched discretely, resulting in a seamless and immersive listening experience for the user.
