Abstract  Abstract

This sound signal downmixing method comprises: a delayed crosstalk addition step for, with respect to each of two channels, acquiring, as a delayed crosstalk-added signal of the channel, a signal obtained by adding an input sound signal of the channel and a signal obtained by delaying an input sound signal of the other channel and multiplying the delayed input sound signal by a weight value that is a predetermined value with an absolute value less than 1; a left-right relation information acquisition step for acquiring preceding channel information that is information indicating which of the delayed crosstalk-added signals of the two channels precedes, and a left-right correlation value that is a value indicating the magnitude of a correlation between the delayed crosstalk-added signals of the two channels; and a downmixing step for acquiring a downmixed signal by performing weighted addition of the input sound signals of the two channels such that the input sound signal of the preceding channel out of the input sound signals of the two channels is included in a larger proportion as the left-right correlation value is larger, on the basis of the left-right correlation value and the proceeding channel information.
