         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the mixing further comprises:
 audio processing simultaneously and differently each audio of the one or more media asset sources according to the one or more selected categories to yield the different variations of mixed media assets.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein a plurality of sound-tracks are provided according to the one or more selected categories, said sound-tracks are one or more of: comedy, horror, musical and drama. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the processing and synchronizing comprises additional audio and video filtering, said additional audio and video filtering comprises one or more of low pass filtering for eliminating noise resulted from the audio and video mixing. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said one or more characters are virtual characters. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the virtual characters may be one or more of a: 2D (two-dimensional) or 3D (three dimensional) AR (augmented reality) or VR characters. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the media recording is recorded by the user of a client device while playing at least one of the one or more media asset sources. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the media recording is recorded by a user of a client device while playing the source audio data. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said area detector module uses one or more algorithms selected from the group consisting of: Depth Buffer (Z-buffer), Scan-Line, Area subdivision, Back-Face, A-Buffer, Depth sorting, BSP trees. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the different variations of mixed media assets are based on a single video asset source mixed with different variations of the media recording. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more selected areas or elements in the received media recording are the areas or elements which are optimal for placing and mixing the one or more characters of the media asset. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1 , comprising:
 identifying, using an image sizing module, for each frame of the selected images source any change in the image size of the one or more characters by comparing to one another successive frames of the one or more characters; and   resizing the one or more characters.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the background pixels are removed using a background remover module. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein the background remover module is configured and enabled to successively process each frame of the selected media asset. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the background remover module removes the background pixels and process the characters pixels so each frame of the selected media asset source will later fit the detected surface area in the media recording.
