  • Publication number: 20230112754
    Abstract: A computer-based method for modifying a sound source. The method includes: accessing, by an acoustic processing facility including at least one processor, a multi-dimensional sound signature of an acoustic environment, wherein the multi-dimensional sound signature comprises a time-based sound reflection sequence for the acoustic environment; and receiving sound source data from a sound input device in a recording space. The method further includes modifying, by the acoustic processing facility, the sound source data based at least in part on the multi-dimensional sound signature to generate a modified sound source data; and recording the modified sound source data on a sound recording device.
