1. A method of rendering audio content of an audio program, the method comprising:
receiving the audio program, wherein the audio program includes at least an object channel and object channel related metadata for rendering a spatial audio object of the object channel;
receiving, from an interface, additional metadata indicative of a selected mix, wherein the selected mix includes the object channel and dialog related to the object channel;
determining associated parameters associated with the selected mix; and
rendering the audio content based on the selected mix and the associated parameters.
 
2. An apparatus for rendering audio content of an audio program, the apparatus comprising:
a first subsystem configured to receive the audio program, wherein the audio program includes at least an object channel and object channel related metadata for rendering a spatial audio object of the object channel;
a second subsystem further configured to receive from an interface additional metadata indicative of a selected mix, wherein the selected mix includes the object channel and dialog related to the object channel;
a third subsystem configured to determine associated parameters associated with the selected mix; and
a rendering subsystem configured to render the audio content based on the selected mix and the associated parameters.
