Description
This plugin takes a surround mix prepared for a 7.1.4 system and converts it to 3D stereo to be listened to on headphones.
The AAX version of this specific plugin requires Pro Tools 2023.6 or later.
7.1.4 adds four ceiling channels to standard 7.1.
The 3D aspects of the stereo are synthesised using HRTF data. This models how sound from different directions is changed as it passes around the head.
Channels
The channel ordering used is:
Channel | AAX | VST |
---|---|---|
1 | Front Left | Front Left |
2 | Front Centre | Front Right |
3 | Front Right | Front Centre |
4 | Left Surround Side | LFE |
5 | Right Surround Side | Left Surround Rear |
6 | Left Surround Rear | Right Surround Rear |
7 | Right Surround Rear | Left Surround Side |
8 | LFE | Right Surround Side |
9 | Left Top Front | Left Top Front |
10 | Right Top Front | Right Top Front |
11 | Left Top Rear | Left Top Rear |
12 | Right Top Rear | Right Top Rear |
The low frequency effect channel is not used.
The plugin is available in the Binaural Surround plugin library.

Control: Mode
Two modes are supported, "Inferred" and "Virtual". Generally, "Inferred" is recommended.
Mode | Description |
---|---|
Inferred | This mode is optimised for use with material that has been mixed using conventional panning techniques, such as equal-power panning or VBAP. The approach produces smooth transitions when sounds pass between speaker locations. |
Virtual | This mode simply places each of the main (non-LFE) audio channels in their appropriate speaker direction. This can be worth trying when the mix has not been put together by conventional panning and the channels have a complex phase relationship. |
