1. A method comprising:
initiating, with a first mobile device, a mixing session to create a spatial audio mix using data transfer between a plurality of mobile devices to form an audio scene, the plurality of mobile devices comprising at least the first mobile device and a second mobile device, where the first mobile device provides a user interface;
receiving, with the first mobile device, at least one first audio object from the second mobile device, wherein a location of the at least one first audio object relative to the first mobile device is determined based upon locations of the first mobile device and the second mobile device relative to each other during capturing of the at least one first audio object;
determining, with the first mobile device, a location of the second mobile device relative to the first mobile device, wherein the locations of the first mobile device and the second mobile device during capturing of the at least one first audio object is, at least partially, different from the determined location of the first mobile device and the second mobile device;
providing, with the first mobile device, at least one input with the user interface of the first mobile device, where the at least one input is configured to be used to modify at least one of:
a direction,
the location,
a distance, or
a reverberation level
of the at least one first audio object to form at least one modified first audio object; and
mixing, with the first mobile device, at least the at least one modified first audio object with at least one second audio object to create the spatial audio mix, where the mixing is based, at least partially, upon the determined location of the second mobile device relative to the first mobile device, where modification of the at least one first audio object is configured to control at least one spatial aspect of the audio scene, where the spatial audio mix is configured to be perceived from a listening position corresponding to the location of the first mobile device in the audio scene, where the at least one first audio object and the at least one second audio object correspond, at least partially, to parts of the audio scene represented with the spatial audio mix.
