Sam TupyHi everyone, I have something slightly different to share, it's part of a project I've been working on during my downtime, because I guess this is rest for me or something haha. I've created a reaper project (can easily be made into just an effects chain) which first upmixes stereo audio into 7.1.4 surround sound before then downmixing it back to stereo, but doing so in such a way were all 12 of the surround sound speakers are positioned using HRTF! In other words, it causes standard stereo music to sound like it's playing all around you in 3d, quite a fun listening experience! a lot of time, pacients, multiple pairs of headphones, hundreds of tracks tested and uncountable minor parameter adjustments went into making sure that there are as few hrtf or other artifacts in the output audio as I could achieve given my experience level and ears. I used a much younger and more simple version of this effects chain for the New years Any Audio streams, and an older but similar concept in my Starwar audio production. This chain combined with a virtual audio cable or app2clap allows you to binauralize audio from any windows application, it was pretty fun listening to a 3d internet radio station today! I made it for my audio productions, but discovered that it's also great for entertainment. If you're a curious audio nerd who owns a copy of Reaper and have a few extra minutes to install a couple plugins, feel free to check this out if you're interested, feedback is welcome/appreciated and I hope you enjoy! https://samtupy.com/music3d.zip
victor tsaran@vick21 @jcast432 Well, I've tried this with anything from Orchestral or other royalty free instrumentals to Andre Louis's shorts to various Christian music and more, and it almost always sounds better than the original stereo version, even if a bit different at first. The one note is that the wider the original stereo image of the track used, the cooler it'll sound binauralized. The more of the input track that is just flat out mono or has most of it's material near the center, generally the less flavorful will be the binaural result.
Andre Louis@FreakyFwoof @vick21 @jcast432 Oooooo, I'll give it a try here in a bit! Double binaural, yeah that'll give this thing a run for it's money haha!
@samtupy @FreakyFwoof @vick21 @jcast432 So, I signed up to the Deer reality newsletter and got the plugins email, but DearVR Monitor is not in the list of plugins.
@mcourcel @FreakyFwoof @vick21 @jcast432 When I downloaded these, I downloaded the complete plugins bundle from that page which contained DearVRMonitor, it also might be in the DearVRMix package. I don't have much time at the second but I'll look in to that so I can make the instructions more clear in the future. Sorry about that!
@samtupy @FreakyFwoof @vick21 @jcast432 Interesting. Looks like the download complete link isn't working anymore. Boo! At least not at this end: https://mautic.sennheiser.com/r/b7c8464b1d5f93cdc137cf0e3?ct=YTo1OntzOjY6InNvdXJjZSI7YToyOntpOjA7czoxNDoiY2FtcGFpZ24uZXZlbnQiO2k6MTtpOjg2ODA7fXM6NToiZW1haWwiO2k6NDQ1NDtzOjQ6InN0YXQiO3M6MjI6IjY5YWRkZjUxNmUyNGU1MjE2NTMxNjgiO3M6NDoibGVhZCI7czo3OiIyMTQ0NzUyIjtzOjc6ImNoYW5uZWwiO2E6MTp7czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aTo0NDU0O319&
