3-D Binaural Spatializer

The 3-D Binaural Spatializer is a VST plugin for Windows and Mac that gives the listener the illusion that the sound sources are actually in 3-dimensional space. It uses head related transfer functions to process the audio, allowing the user to choose an angle in the horizontal plane between 0° and 360°. There are instructions and other info in the README file. Also, this effect only works with headphones.

TDR Nova is a parametric equalizer, which suggests it is an effects plugin. You need to use it to dynamically process a single track or your full stereo mix to fine-tune things precisely to your liking. Oculus Audio Spatializer Plugin for Wwise 23.0. A Wwise plugin to let developers add HRTF-based spatialization and room modeling to applications. For more information, see the Wwise documentation Audio SDK Developer Guide. New/Updated Features.

Spatializer StreamFX DEMO Spatializer StreamFX is an 3D surround plugin for both XMMS developed by Spatializer Labs and 4Front Technologies.

Note: The beta version of Audacity is supposed to support VST plugins, but I’ve been having trouble getting this to work properly inside Audacity. It should work fine in most other DAWs.

Use headphones!

Heres a concrete piece I wrote and mixed using this plugin:

You can use envelopes to control the angle, just like with volume or panning.

(these plugins were released in 2011 when I was a student, and haven’t been updated since then)

Spatializer Vst Plugins

I’ve written a Binaural Panner VST plugin using algorithms described in the previous post. I used the popular JUCE C++ library (which is a no-brainer choice for writing VST plugins these days). JUCE doesn’t offer any API for FIR filtering so i needed to write fast convolution myself and for that I used kiss_fft which is a small, but quite fast FFT library. The GUI elements (like head icon) are hard-coded as C arrays. You can choose between 3 different HRTFs from the CIPIC database. There is a lot of room for optimization, for example crossfading between previous and next impulse response could be stopped at some point, interpolation could be done doing adjacent walk…but i wrote it as an experiment (I always wanted to make my own VST plugin someday!) so it’s not meant for any serious use. In the future, I plan to dive into Ambisonics, so I’ll probably include this HRTF panner as part of the ambisonics decoder plugin…I hope to have more knowledge and experience with HRTFs by that time so I could create an average HRTF that sounds reasonable for most people and that’s when I’ll consider this plugin for serious use.
