Headphone/headset for 3D audio for use with Ptq

Hi all,

I wish to use headphones with Pianoteq and be able to hear the difference in sound as I move my head. Would anyone be able to recommend an out-of-the-box solution? I do have some good headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250Ohms). I have no technical knowledge of how to go about this so any advice would be very gratefully appreciated.

Warmest regards,

Chris

P.s. just came across this. No 3D head change/sound change capability, but may interest some. Quite an amazing pieces of kit.

I use wave nx (abbey road studio) with head tracker. I find it very realistic, I often control my monitors because I think the sound is coming from them... but no, they are off...

Hi YvesTh,

I have taken the plunge and ordered the abbey road and tracker bundle. Bit of a learning curve ahead, but that's good for the brain!

Warmest regards,

Chris

I hope you will enjoy it... give us your opinion ...

OK, where to start???

Here goes...

The headtracker arrived today. I got it set up very easily (very intuitive setup process). I initially set it up with the Abby Road Studios nx plugin, but I thought the sound was to coloured. It brilliant if you want to recreate a particular studio's sound (there's also a famous German studio and I think there is another), but I wanted to keep it as clean as possible. With this in mind I took the plunge and bought the nx mix plugin (it's currently €29 instead of €109). I then download, activated and pulled up this nx mix plugin and was absolutely convinced that I'd made the right choice. I chose the 7.1Stereo version of the plugin and boy does it sound good. It more than adds to the realism of Pianoteq (and Pianoteq was brilliant in my eyes before!). I highly recommend this setup.

A great big thank you to you YvesTh. The learning curve was so easy with this solution and I extremely grateful for your recommendation. May I humbly recommend to you the nx mix plugin.

Thank you to to Modartt, Waves Audio and Van of Meershop, Netherlands, where I purchased the tracker and Abbey Road Studios bundle.

Thanks again to all,

Warmest regards,

Chris
