Greetings audiophiles!
As you may recall, Archimago and I (STC) wrote the previous article from October 2023 on stereo crosstalk cancellation (XTC). If you're not familiar with the topic, I recommend a look at that to familiarize yourself with the principles behind the technique.
I now want to introduce CTXMatrixBeta, a free 64-bit VST3 plugin that brings Ralph Glasgal's vision with freely accessible Ambiophonics for all to try. (In the near future, I'm planning to work on adding support with surround channels for the "Domestic Concert Hall" [DCH]. The ideas and logic are ready to implement.)
Regarding CTXMatrixBeta, by harnessing intuitive
ear-based calibration, this plugin aims to deliver precise XTC, empowering enthusiasts
to experience the immersive, lifelike sound of their 2-channel recordings with unmatched
clarity.
