Hi Folks,

Archimago did a great write-up on Crosstalk Cancellation (XTC) and a plugin that works in JRiver DSP called uBACCH.

He gives fairly good directions on how to implement this further down in the article (Part III).  I plan to try it myself at some point, but I was wondering who here has also implemented it and what your experience was?

Hey folks, I was reading a thread on Audio Science Review around Thoretica Applied Physics' uBACCH and the company responded to a number of questions.  One of the posts had a link to exactly how to set this up in JRiver.

This is the ASR discussion.

For anyone interested in this software, I setup uBACCH in JRiver this morning and played around with it.  First let me clarify that I listen to music in a Multi-speaker (6.0) Stereo configuration.  Not Multi-channel Surround Sound, but Stereo with multiple speakers in surround.

Bottom-line; using the white noise I could hear what they were saying would be the effect between my left and right channels. I seemed to come to about 25-degrees as being an appropriate setting for my room.

However, during actual music playback, when I used the slider bar to widen and narrow the sound field, the effect was so subtle as to be almost negligible. As I expected, I could hear a little bit of a difference in the width and depth of the sound field, but nothing that wow-ed me.

And here's the kicker, turning it on and off in JRiver DSP had very minimal effect. My wife and I really couldn't detect that much of a difference. This may be because I have a 6.0 system with effectively a full surround. Any type of cross talk cancellation I guess may be almost meaningless.

So my summary is that this may work really well with a 2-Speaker Stereo system, but I didn't get much from a Multi-speaker setup. I'm taking a pass on it, but try it out, there's a free trial and YMMV.
