Abstract

In this work a novel audio binaural mixing platform is presented which employs advanced gestural-based interaction techniques for controlling the mixing parameters. State-of-the-art binaural technology algorithms are used for producing the final two-channel binaural signal. These algorithms are optimized for realtime operation, able to manipulate high-quality audio (typically 24bit / 96kHz) for an arbitrary number of fixed-position or moving sound sources in closed acoustic enclosures. Simple gestural rules are employed, which aim to provide the complete functionality required for the mixing process, using low cost equipment. It is shown that the proposed platform can be efficiently used for general audio mixing / mastering purposes, providing an attractive alternative to legacy hardware control designs and software-based mixing user interfaces.
