Hey everyone! My name is Andrew, and I am an audio engineering student at MetalWorks Institute in Canada.
I am super excited to finally be a part of this forum!
In addition to being at MetalWorks, I have also been listening to and studying the realm of Spatial Audio. For the last year or so, I have been developing my own digital signal processing techniques for stereo-to-spatial audio conversion (using Matlab).
I believe I have finally developed a hi-fi, budget-friendly solution for high-quality Spatial Audio converted from stereo.

The Spatial Audio mastering/listening plugin I have developed is called Binaural DSP, and I plan on posting demonstrations of it in this forum. I am have developed a standalone .EXE for listening, and a VST/AU/AAX plugin for mastering. I am looking for feedback and impressions of the effect to ensure it is valued by the intended audiences (i.e., audiophiles and mixing/mastering engineers). Looking forward to being a part of this forum!

Best,
Andrew
 
Hey Andrew!Great to have you in our forum.What you're doing with Binaural DSP sounds really intriguing.Converting is a challenge (sometimes) but when you do this you will be so so happy.What specific DSP techniques are you using?Also remember that refining your plugin might take some time but it's worth it!User feedback is invaluable so don't hesitate to seek it. Good luck :-)

I hope it works well I've tried a few over the years, the ones I remember are a pair of headphones with built in spatial audio by a US company called SRS which sounded awful, and an analogue crossfeed circuit (so not strictly DSP but presumably could be simulated by such) in a few Meier Audio headphone amps which worked quite well and I sometimes used.

In terms of speaker/amp systems I've only tried the usual "concert hall", sports etc settings on various AV amps, all of which sounded awful.

If you can crack the nut best of luck to you and I'm happy to help with testing although I don't use a PC/laptop to play music generally but could try it to give you some "audiophile" feedback.
 
I too wish you well. I've tried Ambisonics and the BBC binaural experiments and they haven't worked for me, the sound is still firmly in my head.

If you have found another way, very happy to help evaluate it.
