Thanks - thought that I could just replace the attached file after I noticed that a feature was disabled... fixed now.

Fix: Had the wrong default value for Focus (should have been 0) -- upped the version number to 0.8.1. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Updated the attachment in the first post.

Just dropping by to say thanks for the plugin, it's great!

Pain of Salvations' albums seem to be consistently superb with it - or certainly the two I've listened to so far.

Replying again to say thank you as well.
Sound is really great on almost everything I am listening to.
Voice is properly centered in rock music and electronic music sounds just incredible.
(Especially my Ultimae Records collection!)

Always a pleasure!

You should get it added to the component page.

Some questions (of many):
- Does SQ decoding mean just selecting 4.1 without LFE, and QS the same but with 1.5 separation (both or just front/rear)? Can you share how you implemented SQ decoding? I read Wendy Carlos schematics but did not really understand how to do it (not thinking about C programming)
- I have a radioplay encoded in MP3 joint stereo. When I play it with 4.1 I don't get anything in rear channels - it's just plays like I don't have this component in DSP manager. If I decode it to mid-side I get only mid
- similarly to above, if I try default 5.1 setting on mentioned material, I get only center channel, all others are muted. With previous version of this component this can happen if "Center image" is set to 1

Yes, that'd be the correct approach. It could be that the joint stereo has damaged some of the surround info (possibly if it was done with one of the early encoders), but that's hard to tell. Is your source material available from somewhere (possibly in original form)? Then, I could test it myself. With today's methods one can do a theoretically optimal SQ decoder (just like FS is basically optimal for DPL2 etc.), if one uses the correct encoding matrix... but that requires some mathematics. Given some material for testing I might look into it on a future weekend.

thank you for this new version, pro_optimizer, it's full of new functionality to experiment with surround with great results..
it's become my top dsp plugin in my 5.1 setup and it's always on. Its processing makes magic from stereo.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the Plugin, It's very much appreciated.

I do have a question, how does the Bass Transition Lower, and Bass Transition Upper work?

I noticed the levels in the LFE goes up when i put bass transition lower to 80hz. My goal is to pretty much just send anything at 80hz and lower to the LFE.

Also, I created a 6 Channel wav, to see if I can isolate the Centre Channel and I noticed that a lot of bass was being sent there.

Also, with the bass in the centre channel, and the bass that's being re-directed to the LFE, I'm getting extra bass in the tracks. My receiver is re-directing the bass from the centre to my LFE. I don't mind the extra bass too much, but i'd like it all in the LFE from the get go.

In Soundbooth, the centre channel is also peaking above 0db

My settings are set to 5.1 (surround), with direct bass to LFE checked.

I'll looking into trying the other 5.1 settings to see if it'll help.

thanks again with the plugins.

It looks like this component was compiled with SSE2 support. AthlonXP doesn't support these instructions.

Thanks for this.

[pro_optimizer]

Thanks for the feedback, guys. @redmodel: Yes, if I had a proper sub-satellite setup (and enough time), I could perhaps fine tune the bass redirection a bit more.

I noticed one possible issue with the beta version: When you go to high numbers of rear channels (say 9.1 or more) and when there is a lot of action going on in the sound field, you may get a bit of noise in the positioning (that may sound like warbling, at least with mp3). The noise is pretty much intrinsic to the sound, but it gets more obvious when splitting it up across different speakers. I only tried this with HRTFs, which are themselves less than ideal, so it may be less of an issue with real speakers. The focus slider can exacerbate this effect -- for best sound quality, I would leave it at 0. The remaining sliders are okay, though.

Bug in the Surround Sound decoding.

It seems when you reverse the left and right channels before decoding, a slightly left panned vocal does not go equally go to the right in equal matter but gets in dead center. This means the left side of the sound field is usually slightly louder than it probally should be. A notice this bug when testing out various songs that never seem to have a little off to right going on but did in Stereo. This is with default settings.

Thanks for the report - I presume that this is in the beta (or does it happen in the old version, too)? Do you have a particular song which reproduces it?

[Chibisteven]

It happens in older versions. And the easiest so far to tell is track 14 of the first Titanic album (pretty common CD, though you have to turn the volume up high) reproduces it. Celine Dion singing is a little off the to the left of sound stage but swapping the channels before decoding doesn't create the slightly off to the right sound but instead ends up in the center.

[Chibisteven]

Opps. Forget got to mention it happens in the beta version, too.

Sorry couldn't find edit button.

[Vandroiy]

I tried the beta version, and dismissed it as unusable. I have two problems: First, I couldn't find any usable documentation on what the options do, even though they appear to do complicated changes to the output, which are unintuitive for me. But the second is the real problem: It sounds bad.

No matter what I did in the options, the result always clearly lost when comparing with the ProLogic IIx that comes with my sound card, or even plain stereo without any upmix. It sounds as if there is some kind of chorus, phase problem or whatever between the side and center channels. The problem is notable on most music, but becomes very clear on "hard" foreground sounds. It feels as if the music is being played far away. It's really reminiscent of the Chorus Effect.

If this can be setup correctly, I'm not qualified to do it in reasonable time. To name some questions to explain my confusion:

• What does "Panorama" do? I can set it to 90° and still get massive rear sound, which is counter-intuitive to a point I would call a bug.
• How does "Panorama" interact with "Dimension", "Dimension" with "Depth" and "Panorama" with "Depth" and the other ways around?
• What does "Focus" do? It it disabled at 0?
• What is the difference between "Surround", "5-Stereo" and "Legacy Upmix"?
• Especially on "5-Stereo", there is a massive loss in absolute amplitude. Massive enough to appear unreasonable to me. Is this a bug?

Heck, I can't make myself understand any options apart from the LFE crossover, and that's just because its mechanism is trivial on the stereo sources I use. I think it is unrealistic to have the end-user change all the settings given.

My recommendation: remove all settings except front opening angle (affecting Center/Front balance only) and Front/Back balance. If you really love it, add a chorus checkbox, or whatever is used for this effect described above. LFE crossover is also OK -- it actually belongs in the sound driver, but nobody will complain as long as they can just disable it.

TL;DR: I'm back to plain stereo now because I just can't get this to sound right.

[Chibisteven]

I think Surround is the new algorithm and Lagecy Upmix is the old algorithm. 5-Stereo, is probally like the 3-Stereo option on old recievers but uses 5 channels instead of 3.

I also think that the sound may clip in certain cases (doesn't happen on my current system, but it did on my old), reducing foobar2000's master volume might help.

EDIT: Here's documentation on the beta version.

A few notes on the sound stage transforms - these are best thought of as geometric transformations of a real stage (usually spanned between front left and front right speaker):

• Panorama wraps the sound stage (spanning 90 degrees between front left/right) around the listener, as if the instruments were arranged in a circle.
• Dimension shifts the stage backwards or forward.
• Depth scales the stage backwards.
• Focus chances the size of the sound sources - large=diffuse/ambient and small=focal/localizable (should only be really noticable with many speakers).
• The regular surround content remains intact and is transformed accordingly, as well.

No matter what I did in the options, the result always clearly lost when comparing with the ProLogic IIx that comes with my sound card, or even plain stereo without any upmix. It sounds as if there is some kind of chorus, phase problem or whatever between the side and center channels. The problem is notable on most music, but becomes very clear on "hard" foreground sounds. It feels as if the music is being played far away. It's really reminiscent of the Chorus Effect.

If this can be setup correctly, I'm not qualified to do it in reasonable time. To name some questions to explain my confusion:

• What does "Panorama" do? I can set it to 90° and still get massive rear sound, which is counter-intuitive to a point I would call a bug.
• How does "Panorama" interact with "Dimension", "Dimension" with "Depth" and "Panorama" with "Depth" and the other ways around?
• What does "Focus" do? It it disabled at 0?
• What is the difference between "Surround", "5-Stereo" and "Legacy Upmix"?
• Especially on "5-Stereo", there is a massive loss in absolute amplitude. Massive enough to appear unreasonable to me. Is this a bug?

Heck, I can't make myself understand any options apart from the LFE crossover, and that's just because its mechanism is trivial on the stereo sources I use. I think it is unrealistic to have the end-user change all the settings given.

My recommendation: remove all settings except front opening angle (affecting Center/Front balance only) and Front/Back balance. If you really love it, add a chorus checkbox, or whatever is used for this effect described above. LFE crossover is also OK -- it actually belongs in the sound driver, but nobody will complain as long as they can just disable it.

TL;DR: I'm back to plain stereo now because I just can't get this to sound right.

Dude, you know what? No one forces you to use any free software on the internet. I have a day job, and on the order of 2000 items on my TODO list over there... the reason why I am making this free (and open source as in the prior version) is because I like foobar2000's model of giving value to people for free, perhaps making a few folks happy, and perhaps getting something from the community in return. I could have patented the algorithm and sold it to an audio company (as many people in the business have), but I chose not to - for that same reason.

Thanks for the feedback, but please bear in mind that it is 100x harder to create something than to criticise it. I will get back to this plugin and improve whatever needs to be improved once my schedule clears up.

**wall of shit**

If you think it sounds bad, code your own?
thanks.

I signed up just to post on this great DSP plugin. In combination with Dolby Headphone I think Fsurround (beta) gives the best spacial sound without losing too much crispness or creating a 'wooly' sweater-over-the-head sound (like the various channel mixer solutions).
There's one small issue I did not notice before, but on my new Sennheiser 360 headset (much better placement/accuracy than my previous headset) was suddenly revealed though. It seems like the sound stage is being rotated ~10 degrees counter clockwise when compared to the untouched stereo source. Voices tend to become balanced to the left a bit and the reverb is coming from a slightly more right-back direction instead of right behind me.
When switching back to plain stereo or using channel mixer the voices are placed dead centre again, so it's not simply my right ear failing me

My DSP chain:

Gapless Crossfader
Noise Sharpening - 20%
Free Surround (beta) - all default settings + 5.1 surround
Dolby Headphone - DH1 reference room + no dynamic compression + amplification 93% (dolbyhph.dll version 1.10.0.270)
Graphic Equalizer - Sliders between +4dB and +10dB to compensate for volume loss caused by dolbyhph.
Advanced Limiter

I hope I didn't draw people's attention to a 'problem' they didn't hear before and now can't stop noticing (like I do when there's something slightly off in audio...pretty annoying, should just ignore it and enjoy the music )

Edit: Just saw Chibisteven's post. Rotation of the sound stage could do that. If the source has the voice slightly to the left rotating to the left makes it slightly more to the left. When reversed, a slightly to the right voice gets cancelled out by rotating it to the left and ends up dead centre...

Proph out

Me again (can't edit above post anymore for some reason):

I just tested with a Dolby 5.1 AC3 version of Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon (gotta love "Money" and the intro coming from all around you ) and the behaviour described above did not occur. So it seems to be related to stereo to 5.1 conversion.
Does FSurround let 5.1 sources pass through untouched? If so, this test was useless :/

Yeah 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS passes through untouched. Even FLAC 5.1 passes through untouched.

This plugin is awesome. I use it everyday and I surprend myself each time I tune it to my liking. It does magic and helps configure soundstage with great customization. It's simple and professional and self explainable. I'd love to test it with a good hi-fi setup, but sounds great with my logitech 5.1. It sounds better to my taste than ATSurround in foobar2000 and it's free. If you don't like it, don't use it, but we should be thankful to pro_optimizer for his work and encourage him to continue with it. It's incredible to enjoy all stereo music in 5.1. Plain stereo is good too, but free_sourround takes it to another level.
