  • Audio processing apparatus for generating audio signals for monitoring from audio signals for recording and method of controlling same
    Patent number: 10218328
    Abstract: An audio processing apparatus comprises a signal processing unit configured to process an input audio signal by applying a gain to the input audio signal to generate an audio signal for monitoring by a user. The signal processing unit is configured to increase the gain applied to the input audio signal, in a case where the audio signal for monitoring becomes low, in two stages by first increasing a gain applied to the audio signal at first rate during a first stage and subsequently increasing the gain applied to the audio signal at a second rate during a second stage.
