i’ve been working on a convolution filter using the b&k 5128’s hrtf, applied to iems tuned to the 5128-df target. the idea is to make regular stereo flac files sound more like they’re coming from speakers in a room. open, more natural, and less inside your head.
the brir (binaural room impulse response) is made with the b&k 4128, which is what i have access to. i haven’t been able to find any room irs made with the 5128—if anyone knows of any or has some they’d be willing to share, i’d really appreciate it.
i used ash toolset to create the filter, which let me customize the acoustic space and apply the right spatial cues. im running it in easyeffects convolver now at 48 khz, and so far it’s giving me a really convincing speaker-like image with good depth and staging.
i’m sharing the .wav file because this version sounded the best after several tries and iterations. would love to hear your thoughts. does it feel more natural? more immersive? any feedback on how it affects clarity or tonality would be great.
