Abstract
Sounds are reproduced from a plurality of sound source objects at the same timing. A sound volume and a localization of each sound when the sounds are received by a virtual microphone are calculated. Any one sound source object is determined as a weight assignment target on the basis of the sound volumes. Then, when the sounds reproduced simultaneously from the sound source objects are outputted as a single sound, weight assignment is performed such that the localization of the sound of the sound source object determined as the weight assignment target is more greatly reflected, and a localization of an outputted sound on the basis of the localization of each sound source object. On the basis of this localization, an audio signal is generated and outputted.
