Binaural Post-Processing
Apple
Binaural Post-Processing is a psychoacoustic imaging plugin that simulates arbitrary sound source positions in three-dimensional space when processing standard stereo signals. It employs compensation modes optimized for different playback systems—headphones or speakers—making binaurally panned content sound neutral and spatially accurate across various listening environments. The plugin is essential for creating immersive spatial mixes that translate well to both headphone and speaker playback.

CanOpener Studio
Goodhertz
CanOpener Studio is a transparent headphone listening processor that uses a proven crossfeed algorithm to make headphones behave more like loudspeakers, delivering better mix translation without room simulations or gimmicks. It combines the crossfeed algorithm with a Baxandall treble & bass equalizer and extensive monitoring controls including mono, phase flip, polarity, dim, balance, and compensation. Designed for both tracking and mastering-grade monitoring, it helps achieve more accurate mixes on headphones with minimal coloration.
