A audio processing apparatus capable of judging and correcting volume levels of audio data, with a level judgment thinning controller for thinning the frequency of the level judgments provided therein, can reduce a throughput and implement the level judgments and corrections in the case of multi-channel input audio data maintaining the original number of the channels thereof. The audio processing apparatus, with a plurality of level judging devices and level correcting devices further provided therein, can implement audio processings at optional settings in response to users' preferences. The present invention thereby provides the capability of judging and correcting levels of the multi-channel audio data while maintaining the original number of the channels thereof.
