Thanks for confirming. The fix is now in the master.

And now there's also a fix for channel time alignment. I did a measurement in February with only one speaker and ended up with channel balance problems no matter how I played with the channel balance parameter. Turns out the FL and FR channels were time aligned wrong. I allowed the algorithm to look for smaller peaks in the impulse responses and this can avoid the situation where the higher peaks are further back in the impulse response and cause misalignment.

Hopefully this helps some of you avoid some channel balance problems.

I think the fix for channel time alignment is already in the master? That would explain why the channel balance noticeably improved for me.

It is. Glad to hear it works.

I'm guessing you are using Python 3.7 or something like that. Only Python 3.8 is supported.

 

[trigeger]

Thanks, that fixed the issue. Didn't notice the importance of the exact 3.8 version and nothing above.

 

[johnn29]

Just FYI for anyone into all this - Apple's new tVOS 15 will enable spatial audio with head tracking for the Air Pods Pro. Quite excited about that!

 

[bigshot]

Don’t you mean regular AirPods? I think it already works with pro.

 

[johnn29]

it's beeen released for iOS yes, but this is tVOS aka Apple TV. So think of theater watching. Plex/Infuse and the usual apps will need to add support, but hopefully it'll be forthcoming or work arounds will be in place.

Obviously it won't compete against what Impulficer can do for pure realism - but there's use cases for it when you need max ANC, lounge around, pair multiple headphones for multiple people and pure convienence etc. Hoping like Dolby Headphone the algorithm will be tuned for a different setting - home theater watching rather than close up phones.

Hi folks I’m new here and I’ve tried the demo with impulcifer. It actually sounds unreal having headphones simulate a speaker in front of me.

I’ve ordered
2x Primo EM258 Mono module, with 3.5mm plug, 1.0m

Behringer UMC202HD

Rode VXLR+ Minijack to XLR Adaptor with Power Convertor

Is this everything I need? Also for the speaker can I use my tv lg cx or does it need to be a good standalone speaker.

also is room measurement a must because I will also need to buy a mic.

I’ve read someone mentioning height channels and I really would like to add this too once olive got things working. Can someone link me a guide or instruct how to set this up. Many thanx

Measuring and simulating height channels is no problem, but what are you going to play over them?
Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro 3D can use height channels but I don't know if you can decode those on your computer?

Some of us are experimenting with up/remixing music for 12 or more channels.

 

[morgin]

I want to play it over my pc through hesuvi using movies with Dolby atmos or dtsX.
