Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media for spatially selective audio augmentation

A method (M100) for processing a multi-channel signal including a first audio input channel and a second audio input channel, said method comprising: performing (T100) an active noise cancellation operation on the first audio input channel audio to produce an anti-noise signal; processing (T200) the multichannel signal to obtain a source component, said processing including performing a spatially selective processing operation on the multichannel signal to separate the source component from a background component; process (T300) the obtained separated source component to produce a target component: produce an augmented target component signal, wherein the augmented signal is a stereo signal providing a perceived direction of arrival corresponding to an arrival direction associated with the obtained separate source component, wherein the arrival direction associated with the separate source component obtained is determined from the first audio input channel and the second audio input channel; and combining (T400) the anti-noise signal and the boosted signal to produce an audio output signal.
