u-BACCH Audio Plug-In

Hi,

using your plug-in gives me great pleasure. On a Windows10 machine I have used it in Reaper. On a Macbook it works fine with Audio Hijack from Rogue Amoeba. Even in Audirvana it works fine with or without realtime-control. The only funny thing is that if I clear Audio Unit#2, it will be occupied by u-BACCH nevertheless, when starting the next music playback with AU-processing activated. But this doesn’t pose a real problem for me.

Apart from this I would like to ask for your opinion concerning a center channel. This could be done e.g. by adding an option to choose between the normal 2-channel and a 3-channel u-BACCH as well as a zero degree angle option. So if I would like to drive 3 speakers e.g. at +/- 45 degrees or more and at 0 degrees I would use two instances of u-BACCH in parallel in REAPER. In both instances the 3-channel option had to be activated. In the one instance 0 degrees could be chosen, leading to only using the music-information that is common to the L and R channel called the center C, before convolution with a 0 degree filter. (So the L and R output channels will be equal.) In the second instance a degree other than 0 is chosen which will lead to using L-C and R-C as input before convolution.

Would you consider this 3 channel option a worthwhile uBACCH extension for music reproduction? What would be a good angle for the outer speakers?

I’m very much looking forward to your answer.

With best regards
E. Winkelmann

Best audio purchase I have made.

I can not get a download for my Mac that I can unzip, I asked for help and got none, I asked to cancel but I don’t think that has happened

Great software. The effect is simply stunning with binaural recordings, great with live or live-in-the-studio recordings and sometimes not so great with multitrack pop records, but the plugin is a must have for any serious audiophile.
