The disclosed computer-implemented method may include establishing and implementing a virtual microphone. The method may include receiving an input specifying a location for a virtual microphone that is configured to capture audio as if located in the specified location. The method may next include initializing physical microphones to begin capturing audio as if located at the specified location. The physical microphones may be electronically or physically oriented to listen from the specified location. The method may then include combining audio streams from the physical microphones to generate a combined audio signal that sounds as if recorded at the specified location. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
