10. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the wearable device is configured to receive input from a user input device, and the processor is configured to generate the audio mix or the virtual object based at least in part on the input.

11. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the animation metadata comprises information relating to one or more of: movement of a musical performer associated with the audio file, acoustics of a performance venue, or size of the performance venue.

12. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive an input to change the orientation of the virtual object.

13. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the audio mix comprises a pre-mixed combination of the plurality of stem tracks.

14. A method for interacting with an audio file, the method comprising:

under control of a wearable device comprising hardware computer processor, a sensor configured to measure information associated with a pose of a user of the wearable device; a display configured to present images to an eye of the user of the wearable device; a speaker configured to present sounds to the user of the wearable device:

accessing a plurality of stem tracks associated with an audio file, wherein at least one of the plurality of stem tracks comprises: animation metadata related to audio content of the audio file;

detecting the pose of the user, the pose indicating at least a pose direction the user is facing in a three-dimensional (3D) environment;

causing to display a virtual object comprising a plurality of surfaces associated with different stem tracks of the audio file;

determining a change in orientation of the virtual object relative to the pose of the user in response to a user movement relative to the virtual object within the 3D environment or a user indication to reorient the virtual object;

updating, based at least partly on the pose of the user and the change in the orientation of the virtual object, display of the virtual object in the 3D environment;

identifying one or more surfaces of the virtual object along the pose direction of the user in the 3D environment;

selecting one or more stem tracks of the identified one or more surfaces to present through the speaker;

determining an audio mix of the selected one or more stem tracks; and

communicating an audio signal representative of the audio mix to the speaker.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein stem tracks of the plurality of stem tracks are associated with different musical instruments or a vocal track.
