Common Image is an effect designed for stereo content. Common Image inverts the left audio channel, and mixes this inversion with the right audio channel, and vice versa. The result is the unique stereo image per channel, and the phasing out of the mono material.

Common Image can shift mono content in relativity to Stereo Content by using the “relative” position, or it can allow positioning of stereo content while maintaining mono content position by using the “grouped” position

Bformat2Binaural – Ambisonic Binaural Decoder allows you to decode up to 1st order Ambisonics for playback over headphones.

In this plug-in, four speaker feeds are derived from an Ambisonic sound field, and those feeds are convolved with the corresponding HRTF for those speaker positions. The speaker positions are 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Since the left and right ear HRTF are the same at 0 degrees, there is one less convolution required. Same applies for the rear 180 degree position, avoiding a total of two convolutions as opposed to eight required if the speakers were positioned at 45, 135, 225, and 315 degrees.

While this method requires less processing power, it does not ‘seem’ to provide as clear a sound field as when decoding speaker feeds with positions 45, 135, 225, and 315. More trials need to be done into this.

Even though it uses the compact 128 tap HRTF set available from the MIT Media Lab instead of the full 512 tap set, it uses straight convolution as opposed to FFT convolution, and as a result is quite CPU intensive.

See B-Binaural for an extended version of this plug-in in Audio Unit format, using FFT convolution for faster processing.

Features:

• 1st order.
• Horizontal.
• 128 tap filters.
• 64 bit processing.

Basslane is used to narrow the stereo width of low frequencies in tracks and mixes. It’s a simple, yet handy utility that allows you to regain bass tightness and prevent “muddy” mixes caused by a too wide low end.

Basslane is also very useful when mastering and especially when mastering for vinyl records. It allows you to transparently prevent problematic stereo content in the low frequencies. The easy-to-use interface features a range of monitoring options allowing precise fine tuning while auditioning the processing at different stages.

Key Features:

• Easy to use.
• Transparent stereo sound with classic pan response.
• 6/12 dB/oct filter switch for variable filter steepness.
• Width sweepable from full stereo to full mono.
• Useful auditioning modes.
