Dynamic audio perspective change during video playback

Systems and methods for a dynamic audio perspective change during video playback are provided. A pre-recorded video is played with an associated raw audio signal. The audio signal is modified in real time based on an audio processing mode. The audio processing mode can be selected during the video playback via a graphic user interface. By selecting the audio processing mode, a user can attenuate one or more components of the pre-recorded raw audio signal. The components include near source sounds, distant source sounds, and a noise. After the desired audio processing mode is selected the entire audio signal is reprocessed according to the selected mode in a background process and stored in a memory.
