An audio signal processing apparatus includes a splitting unit for
splitting an audio signal of a first system and another audio signal of a
second system into pluralities of frequency band components, a level
comparing unit for calculating a level ratio or a level difference
between each of the frequency bands of the first system and each of the
frequency bands of the second systems, and an output control unit for
removing frequency band components whose level ratio or level difference
calculated by the level comparing unit is equal and substantially equal
to a predetermined value from at least one of the first and second
systems.
