HRTFCheck

HRTFCheck is a desktop app (with an optional web share link) that stress-tests spatial audio mixes against a library of real-world HRTF profiles, earbuds/headphones, and playback scenarios. You import a binaural render or multichannel stem, then run automated “translation sweeps” that simulate how your mix collapses or shifts for different listeners. The app outputs a simple report: localization drift, front-back confusion risk, elevation reliability, mono compatibility, loudness consistency, and phase issues—plus time-stamped flags. It also generates quick A/B preview playlists so you can hear the worst-case profiles fast. This is not a magic ‘make it perfect’ tool; it’s a QA and decision-support tool that saves hours of guesswork and reduces embarrassing releases that sound great only on the creator’s headphones.
