Headphone surround sound (including recordings made with a binaural "head" microphone) can be very convincing until the listener moves his head.<p>The sounds don't change to match the head motion, and this kills the illusion.
I'm sorry, but surround sound for headphones (defined as: HRTF implementations) don't work. What does work? Actual binaural recordings made with dummy head recordings.<p>Trying to reprocess 5.1 surround into either a) making it sound like I'm there, or b) making it sound like I'm listening to a 5.1 audio system, has never worked for me. Dolby Headphone is the least objectionable one of them, but it just mangles audio.<p>I wish someone would try to do Ambisonics-like calculations to try to bake 5.1 into working surround sound. I'd even pay for it (for, say, a faux passthrough driver on Windows that outputs to your default sound card).
Nice write up. I installed the app to give it a whirl. Admittedly I haven't tried it with movies yet, but it gives a "warmer" sound to my Spotify tracks while using my Polk ANC headphones.<p>I went to purchase the product, but not sure why it's asking me for my mailing address?<p>I'd recommend streamlining the workflow (if possible).<p>Ask for Email address<p>Ask to select Payment Type<p>Then, if credit card is selected:<p>Name as it Appears on the Card<p>Credit Card Number<p>Credit Card Expiry<p>Credit Card CVS<p>Billing Address<p>Billing Phone Number<p>If I chose to use Paypal, why do you need the mailing and phone number?
Just wanted to say I was looking for something like this last week and couldn't find one for my Mac. Thanks this is awesome! I'll def buy a license here soon
Just wanted to pass on a note, I watched the new Peanuts trailer, and wow, what a massive improvement in sound and bass while using your audio plugin. Going to purchase a license.
does it sound different? yes<p>does it sound 3d? no<p>does it sound better? no, unless you pay, then auto suggestion produces perception of better quality<p>meh
