Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for mixing a plurality of audio signals within an audio mixing system are disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plurality of audio signals, extracting at least one audio feature from each of the plurality of audio signals, determining, for each of the audio signals, an associated processing control function in accordance with a plurality of the extracted audio features, processing each audio signal in accordance with each associated processing control function, and outputting the plurality of processed audio signals.

Abstract: There is described a computer implemented method for performing automatic audio production, comprising: receiving an audio signal to be processed; receiving semantic information; determining at least one semantic-based rule using the received semantic information, the semantic-based rule comprising production data that defines how the audio signal to be processed should be produced; processing the audio signal to be processed using the production data, thereby obtaining a produced audio signal; outputting the produced audio signal.
