SPARTA
By Aalto University Acoustics Lab
SPARTA is a collection of spatial-audio plug-ins based on research-oriented signal-processing tools. It is useful for Ambisonics, directional analysis and multichannel experimentation. The processors address different stages of a spatial workflow rather than one generic stereo effect. Read the routing and channel-convention documentation before combining them with other immersive-audio software or a loudspeaker decoder.
Compare the stereo presentation with a mono sum and, where possible, on both speakers and headphones. Image changes can affect apparent balance even when no conventional equalizer or compressor is involved.
