Abstract
Methods and systems for positioning audio signals on virtual soundstages. The mobile device may include one or more orientation components that are used to generate orientation data that track directional changes that are used to position an audio signal on a virtual soundstage. A listener of the sound from the audio signal may be associated with the orientation data such that the positioning of the audio signal provides virtual acoustic presence on the virtual soundstage. The audio signal is received, the audio signal may be associated with a plurality audio channels. The orientation data for positioning the audio signal is also received. A position for the audio signal on the virtual soundstage is determined based in part on the orientation data. The audio signal is then positioned on the virtual soundstage.
