SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING AUDIO CONTENT

Systems and methods operate on multi-channel audio content having audio content spanning a plurality of frequency bands. The process can be configured to analyze audio content to identify one or more frequency bands of the plurality of frequency bands associated with a first channel having a signal level below a predetermined threshold; increase the gain of the identified frequency band(s) in the first channel; altering the gain of the identified frequency band(s) in the second channel relative to the first channel; phase shifting the first channel relative to the second channel to create modified first and second channels; creating a master channel signal comprising the modified first and second channels; separating the master channel signal into a plurality of frequency bands; and processing each frequency band in the master channel with an audio compressor to adjust attack and release times of master channel signals in multiple frequency bands.
