Name: Binaural Location
Author: Mani Consulting Limited

Description

Binaural Location goes beyond the simple pan control; it allows you to place your audio at a specific location anywhere in a virtual space around the listener. The location of the L and R control points on the screen controls the location of two virtual speakers. Based on the angle and distance from the speakers to the listener's ears, the app creates a realistic impression that the sound is actually coming from the specific location of the L and R points.
*** This is an audio unit plugin that runs in host apps such as GarageBand. It does not run as a stand-alone effect. ***
Is it just a fancy pan control?
No. This plugin models three different aspects of the sound location at the same time, and none of them is a pan control:
1. The delay due to the distance between the sound source and the listener's left and right ears.
2. When the left ear hears sound coming from the right side, it gets less high-frequency clarity because the sound waves are coming around from the other side of the head.
3. The volume of the sound changes depending on the distance between the listener and the speakers.

Does this plugin work for listeners who use speakers instead of headphones?
It is designed to work with headphones. If you listen with speakers, it will sound fine, but you won't get the immersive effect of binaural audio.

How is this useful for making music?
This is a creative effect. One interesting thing you can do is enable the orbit mode, which modulates the location of the left and right sound sources in real time, moving them around the room in an orbit around the listener. You'll hear the Doppler effect gently shifting the pitch up and down and the sounds move closer and farther from your ears, and the volume sways up and down in accordance with the changes in distance. This is a nice effect, similar to a Leslie speaker and a little bit like a stereo chorus but with more emphasis on the modulated filtering than on pitch shifting. It works especially well with reverb, and makes a sound like a modulated reverb effect.

False Advertising

This app is just a fancy stereo panning plugin. There is no binaural effect whatsoever. The “orbit” function is essentially a stereo tremolo like that of a Fender Rhodes. GarageBand already offers that. I’m utterly disappointed, and I’m out 5 dollars.

Awesome, prob the best

Awesome, only wish the rate could go slower like down to .01

This works well but can you add 2 new features

I like this plugin it’s good but there’s problems I’m having. I’m having trouble getting the audio to sound more like it’s actually going around you on mono orbit mode. Can you make it where it could sound more like a 3D type of binaural effect. And one more thing. Could you add that feature where you could make the audio go above you, or below you by choice And make an auto button for that too. Hope you have a good day.

DECEPCIÓN

uso muy seguido esta app para agregar mejores efectos a mis sonidos y lamentablemente en un momento empezó a fallar horrible, siempre que agregaba el efecto y reproducía el sonido se escuchaba un molesto e irritante sonido estruendoso que arruina una canción por completo, tuve que quitar el efecto de todas las pistas porque falla horrible

Great, unique plugin

This plugin is the only one on iOS that can do what it does. It works great. It had some issues when it was released, but this developer is one of the best, and has released fixes for most of the issues already. I have nothing but high praise for Ngo Minh Ngoc!

Dope

This a hidden gem. Y’all should tap in with YouTube IOS producer influencers to help spread the word about this one.

MUST HAVE on ...

I’ve been doin music in iOS long enough now to know what I need Binaural functionality is essential for what I’ve always wanted to work on Plus you can really do cool stuff I know it first release & I don’t keep up with blogs on Audiobus or that jazz unless I’m struggling with the impossible I’ve see a lots initial projected vst/app that really could of done more -diminish because of ...who knows - Karmarama ? This is a mind blowing concept with a tons of practical applications to extremely anonymous ones / we aren’t there yet with this but it COULD & SHOULD BE GOING THERE eventually ? Hmmm ? Presently;it’s a wonderful additional dream of dreams to come

Doesn’t work in Auria during mixdown...what’s the point.

Title says it all...
