Abstract: A method of mixing audio signals and apparatus for mixing audio signals, where the method comprises steps of converting of individual digital input audio signals into the time-frequency domain planes (6), processing of the said audio signals in the time-frequency domain, and then summing of the said processed audio signals into the mixed output signal. During the processing at least one privileged element of the audio signals in each time-frequency domain cell is identified, the non-privileged elements of the audio signals are attenuated and the processed audio signals are passed to the summation. The apparatus is operative of performing the method.
