New user assistance...

This is very new to me. I've loaded a few of the BRIR filters into Roon Convolution. The first few I downloaded don't sound right. What should be the center image is moved to the left side of my head. I figure I'm not using it correctly or don't have the correct file. I have several sets of headphones. How can I identify what might be useful for my headphones... or is there a rule to the file names to know what doest what?

Many thanks!

To explain... I am trying to find filters that will help with a better out front soundstage... if that is possible with these options offered here.

Thanks!

Hi,
Please refer to this page in the wiki for the BRIR file naming convention. https://github.com/ShanonPearce/ASH-Listening-Set/wiki/Accessing-the-BRIRs
If using Equalizer APO, to make things easier I have bundled a set of configuration files in the dataset that can be loaded into the configuration editor.

If using other convolution software, you will need to apply convolution with a BRIR for a specific direction and repeat for each audio channel (for example BRIR_R01_C1_E0_A-30.wav corresponds to a position in front and 30 degrees to the left of center which is suitable for the left audio channel).

To avoid any doubt on software compatibility, the IR convolution software must at least support stereo IR processing. This is because every audio channel will need be convolved with a 2 channel BRIR (containing 1 channel for each ear).

I have also included a true stereo BRIR which has 4 channels (2 for left source, 2 for right source) and can be used with any convolution software that supports true stereo processing.
