1. Allow orbit to go more slowly.

User reviews

Still not working

This has not been working for nearly two years now and hasn’t been updated during that timeframe either. It’s been a complete mess and a waste of money.

False Advertising

This app is just a fancy stereo panning plugin. There is no binaural effect whatsoever. The “orbit” function is essentially a stereo tremolo like that of a Fender Rhodes. GarageBand already offers that. I’m utterly disappointed, and I’m out 5 dollars.

Awesome, prob the best

Awesome, only wish the rate could go slower like down to .01

This works well but can you add 2 new features

I like this plugin it’s good but there’s problems I’m having. I’m having trouble getting the audio to sound more like it’s actually going around you on mono orbit mode. Can you make it where it could sound more like a 3D type of binaural effect.

And one more thing.
Could you add that feature where you could make the audio go above you, or below you by choice
And make an auto button for that too.

Hope you have a good day.

Two ears good, four ears better

Love this effect, it reminds me of being on a fairground waltzer circa '85, feeling sick while intermittently hearing swooshes of KC & The Sunshine Band as I spun round. The only difference is, no one has a mullet. That aside, it can bring interest and variety to many different sound sources and styles, and it's a lot of fun to boot. My only gripe is that I would like the two fields to have more independent control as although the two field centres can be moved independently, the orbit, direction and speed of travel remains the same for both. Yeah I know, I want the moon on a stick. :)

FAQ

What is Binaural Location?

Binaural Location is an audio unit plugin that allows you to place sounds in a virtual 3D space around the listener. It simulates how sound reaches your ears from different locations to create an immersive experience. It is designed to be used within host applications like GarageBand.

How does Binaural Location work?

It simulates the delay between your ears, the reduction in high frequencies when sound comes from the side, and the change in volume based on distance. This creates a realistic impression that the sound is coming from a specific point in space.

Can Binaural Location be used with speakers?

While it can be used with speakers and will sound fine, it is specifically designed to work with headphones. The immersive binaural effect is best experienced when wearing headphones.

What makes Binaural Location different from a pan control?

Unlike a simple pan control, Binaural Location models three aspects of sound localization: delay, head-shadowing, and distance-based volume. It goes beyond stereo panning to create a true sense of spatial depth.

What is the orbit mode in Binaural Location?

Orbit mode allows the left and right sound sources to move dynamically in real-time, orbiting around the listener. This creates effects similar to a Leslie speaker or stereo chorus, with Doppler effects and changing volume.
