Foobar2000 Dolby Headphone config - Comment & discuss!

Jan 6, 2015 at 9:37 PM Post #751 of 868
additionally in response to loading EQ I've found that using the winamp dsp bridge allows Electri-Q to not only load presets stably but also allows access to the DB slide which doesn't seem accessible otherwise. Just my two cents.
Btw dmbr I gleaned a little of your plugin setup and it brought everything together even more so with my KEF m200's
Thanks JOE for the EQs, the community appreciates your work (They better ;p), and thank you dmbr for helping me get a little more outta these phones

Unfortunately, the download link to laid-back version expired. Dear RPGWiZaRD, would you please update the link?
It would be awesome, if the foobar would be of the latest version as well! Thank you in advance.

Did you just give me a link to this thread? :D
I don't like Out of your head. Too much reverb, and boring idea of not customizable presets which imitate the sound of real speakers.
I'm checking isone, thanks:)

I didn't like it at first, largely for the same reasons, but it really grows on you...others have expressed this, too.

But I won't press you to spend $150 :)

oh, I am not sure I want to spend that.
So, at first I would like to find a recent dll of dolby headphones and try the tweaks of this and another similar thread. If I am not satisfied, or if by comparing I like the Isope more, I will think about it.
 
Nobody knows where I can download the dolby dll?

Here's an updated link for the preconfigured package for this Dolby headphone config which includes the dll file. It's a new "neutral" setting I loaded as default which is right in-between the two old settings "forward" and "laid-back" presets in the sense how it positions things like vocals, instruments in the soundstage so this neutral setting doesn't really push vocals or instruments more in-your-face than vanilla foobar2000 sound does, it's roughly the same. The forward is a bit more aggressive / in-your-face and the laid-back as it suggests less in-your-face sounding, little bit expansier stage as a result etc.

Be sure to check whether or not the dolby headphone dll is loaded though since I don't know whether or not it works for people that grabs the package if it's directly loaded or not despite the checkbox "remember path relatively to foobar2000 dir" is checked and the dll file placed inside the foobar2000 folder.

Does the uploaded include this http://www.head-fi.org/t/555263/foobar2000-dolby-headphone-config-comment-discuss/735#post_11190310 Electri-Q preset or the OP's? The former is much better.

It includes my own settings, with my setup/ears, I lose a lot of bass and it gets thinner sounding than "vanilla" with that preset. Just by looking at the setting I can say it's a bit "overboard" since I could never imagine a DSP config changing the balance so drastically either (I'm a hobbyist mastering engineer so when it comes to EQing I'm fairly experienced) and we may speak about personal preferences on how you like it to sound when I try to achieve something "x" sound which isn't necessarily my own ideal. :p

Hello Wizard,
I see that the laid back and forward configurations differ not in the settings but in the components.
How about the neutral?
And what do you suggest if I'm not interested in presets because I'm a tweaker and i want to find my own truth?
Which components should i download?

Which version of dll did you put?

And, sorry, what's vanilla?

I don't know, his sounds more neutral, and I think he provided evidence that it was. I produce and master, too, btw ;)

Your Config, your taste, though.

Edit: I don't mean to demean your work, really appreciate what you've done here. I've switched to OOYH recently but still adore this config and could never go back to stereo or use DH without it.

You know that Dolby Headphone  also tries to imitate real speakers in three different rooms and is not customizable?  As far as I know  every room  or loudspeaker simulation for  headphones is based on convolution reverb. Some dsps use real measurements and some try to caculate the effect.
 
I used Dolby Headphone for about 8 years  but at the moment I only use it for gaming.  For movies and music I switched to convolution reverb using binaural room impulse responses (BRIRS) measured with a dummy head.  With the right BRIRS you can get a much better effect as Dolby Headphone (if you want you also can get the same effect as Dolby Headphone).
