Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus performs; determining, for at least one first audio signal of an audio signal format, at least one metadata parameter; determining for at least one further audio signal of a further audio signal format; at least one further metadata parameter; controlling combining of the at least one metadata parameter with the at least one further metadata parameter to generate a combined metadata, wherein the combined metadata is configured to be associated with a combined audio signal formed from the at least one first audio signal and the at least one further audio signal in such a way that the combined metadata includes at least one spatial audio parameter.
