SPATIAL AUDIO FILTERING WITHIN SPATIAL AUDIO CAPTURE

An apparatus comprising means configured to: obtain two or more audio signals from respective two or more microphones; determine, in one or more frequency band of the two or more audio signals, a first sound source direction parameter and first sound source energy parameter based on processing of the two or more audio signals; determine, in the one or more frequency band of the two or more audio signals, a second sound source direction parameter and second sound source energy parameter based on processing of the two or more audio signals; obtain a region defining a direction and/or range for a filter; and generate the filter to be applied to the two or more audio signals, wherein filter gain/attenuation parameters are generated based on the region in relation to the first sound source direction parameter, the first sound source energy parameter, the second sound source direction parameter and the second sound source energy parameter.
