Abstract
A method for processing audio data, the method comprising: receiving audio data corresponding to a plurality of instances of audio, including at least one of: (a) audio data from multiple endpoints, recorded separately or (b) audio data from a single endpoint corresponding to multiple talkers and including spatial information for each of the multiple talkers; rendering the audio data in a virtual acoustic space such that each of the instances of audio has a respective different virtual position in the virtual acoustic space; and scheduling the instances of audio to be played back with a playback overlap between at least two of the instances of audio, wherein the scheduling is performed, at least in part, according to a set of perceptually-motivated rules.
