Abstract  Abstract

A sound signal downmix method includes an inter-channel relationship information obtaining step of obtaining an inter-channel correlation value and preceding channel information of every pair of two channels included in N channels, the inter-channel correlation value being a value indicating a degree of a correlation between input sound signals of the two channels, the preceding channel information being information indicating which of the input sound signals of the two channels is preceding, and a downmix step of obtaining a downmix signal by weighting and adding the input sound signals of the N channels, the input sound signal of each channel being weighted based on the inter-channel correlation value and the preceding channel information such that the larger a correlation with an input sound signal of a preceding channel that precedes the channel, the smaller a weight, whereas the larger a correlation with an input sound signal of a succeeding channel that succeeds the channel, the larger the weight.
