( Stereo Convolution Plugin (FB2K) )

The stereo convolution plugin (foo_dsp_stereoconv.dll) is designed to take stereo audio and convolve each channel with two impulse responses: one to be sent to the left output and the other to the right output. This allows for the left signal to end up in the right output, and vice-versa. This is necessary for performing head-related transfer functions, or HRTFs, which make listening to auditory stimuli over headphones sound more like listening to them over speakers. HRTFs are approximated by crossfeed and the bs2b plugin, but I wanted to have fuller control over filtering my music, so I made this.

• Sample convolution files for the left and right channels that I threw together using binaural room impulse response simulation algorithm. I still don't externalize music with them (i.e. hear the music coming from outside my head), but they make listening much less fatiguing. At some point I'm going to make my own personalized HRIR (head-related impulse responses), and those will work better.
