Abstract:
This paper proposes PAAP (Performer-Aware Automatic Panning System), the first system to automatically track performer(s) and generate spatial audio panning data integrated with a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). Real-time processing of PAAP via Open Sound Control (OSC) confirms its readiness for deployment in professional music production.
