Raising Jake Cans2Cones Headphone to Speaker Emulator [Virtual]

"Cans2Cones" is a specialized plugin that addresses the challenges of headphone-based audio mixing in various environments, including home studios and on-the-go scenarios. It effectively counters the "superstereo" effect inherent to headphone monitoring by generating cross-mixed Interaural Time and Amplitude Differences (ITD and IAD) for the left and right ears. Unlike conventional panning or stereo width reduction, this function emulates the sense of distance created by real loudspeakers in an acoustic space, achieved through subtle EQ adjustments and comb filtering. It's important to note that "Cans2Cones" does not serve as a typical "headphone equalizer" and refrains from engaging in spectral correction or room ambiance simulation. It operates on the premise of a flat frequency response within a well-treated room, with monitors positioned in the standard equilateral triangle configuration for optimal listening.

An intriguing feature is the "Dynamic De-Compression" control, which mitigates the compressed sound often associated with headphone listening due to driver proximity to the eardrums. This dynamic de-compressor subtly alters the sound to simulate the experience of real loudspeakers in a room, aiding listeners in more accurately assessing elements like reverb and compression. "Cans2Cones" offers three "Quick Select" presets for different monitoring setups, such as near-field, mid-field, and far-field, replicating the apparent distance and frequency response of typical monitor speakers in those positions. Users can also fine-tune the emulated distance using the Distance control and employ a "Subwoofer" control for enhanced low-frequency response, ensuring comprehensive audio representation for the chosen "speakers." The distance settings impact the audio perspective, creating an experience akin to moving monitors within a physical room.

Raising Jake CANS2CONES Features:

• Crossfeed Functionality: Generates cross-mixed Interaural Time and Amplitude Differences (ITD and IAD) to counter the "superstereo" effect of headphones.
• Spatial Emulation: Simulates a sense of distance and spatiality akin to real loudspeakers in an acoustic space through subtle EQ adjustments and comb filtering.
• Not a Headphone Equalizer: "Cans2Cones" does not function as a typical headphone equalizer and does not attempt spectral correction or room ambiance simulation.
• Dynamic De-Compression: Subtly modifies the sound to reduce the perceived compression often associated with headphone listening, aiding in more accurate assessment of elements like reverb and compression.
• Quick Select Presets: Offers three presets for near-field, mid-field, and far-field monitoring setups, replicating the apparent distance and frequency response of typical monitor speakers in those positions.
• Distance Control: Allows users to fine-tune the emulated distance to suit specific monitoring scenarios.
• Subwoofer Control: Enhances low-frequency response for comprehensive audio representation, ensuring full-range audio quality.
• Audio Perspective Adjustment: Alters the audio perspective as the distance settings change, emulating the experience of relocating monitors within a physical room.
