Fun in 5.1 : Icram/Flux HEar v3 App Allows Surround Sound in Headphones!

I've always been interested in 5.1 and surround sound formats. The problem is that most people do not have decent (if at all) 5.1 surround sound home theater systems.

However, everyone has headphones. As more media is consumed, watched and listened to on smart phones and tablets this Plug In App from Flux / Icram allows for discrete 5.1 (and other surround formats) to be down converted into a binaural stereo surround file that can be played pack on any device.

This means for $35.00 USD this plug-in is the gateway to open the flood gates to surround sound via binaural for the masses. This is really exciting. I'll be posting some demos soon of some mixes I've been playing with using this technology.

Some may have seen the Z+ App for the iPhone from Hans Zimmer for several of his scores.
