Hi,

I’m back and forth between Harpex and the ATK for Reaper binaural decoder.With 
the ATK plugin I find that the CIPIC 11 HRTF works well for me, better than any 
of the responses from the Listen set. With Harpex, I always have to set the “EQ 
method to None”, if not the sound gets badly coloured. Harper has more distinct 
localisation , while ATK has better immersion. As I work towards installations 
that will be using speakers in a room, I find it useful to switch back and 
forth, it’s a bit like switching between different pairs of speakers while 
miksing.

As for the most convincing I have experienced, that was a demo at Ville 
Pullki’s lab in Helsinki, using Dirac and head tracking. They were playing AB 
tests for me in an anechoic chamber, going back and forth between external 
speakers and binaural. Along the way I was convinced that they were playing 
tricks with me, playing all of it from the speakers. Gradually I started 
noticing that if froze the position of my head, the sound would suck inwards 
after a second or so, disrupting the realistic illusion added by head-tracking.

So, needless to say I have jumped the NEOH bandwagon at Kickstarter, and hope 
for an SDK.

Best,
Trond
