I have a single channel audio recording. I want to simulate the stereo recording when it is (hypothetically) played on a speaker in front of stereo mics (distance between them - say 10 cm).

Are there any tools which can do this?

Edit- I am looking for something more precise - as in for specific distance between speaker and mics and also for given room dimensions. I tried Audacity 'Reverb tool' which sort of does stereofication but there is no way to specify certain distances (speaker-mic, mic-mic etc.)

  • $\begingroup$ I think the reason for that is the way of working of sound engineers etc. A sound engineer want a result not a method or physically correct model. Let explain me with a sample measurement: What is your environment? Free Field_(No reflections)_; Near Field_(close distance particles not in phase)_; far field_(6dB damping double distance)_, direct field_(just sound from source)_ and reverberant field_(reflections of your room)_ What is the shape of the room? square; round; dome; horse shoe; etc What is the size of the room? (see environment) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What materials are used in the room? wood; stone. are the materials soft; hard; flat or course? Is the room filled with products/ materials/ shapes etc. Where is the mic placed? This means a lot of options. In sound engineering they try to fix this amount of parameters to replace with less. The parameters they use are: size; shape; early reflection (distance mic from speaker) ; decay/reverb time; damping; filter options; mix(direct sound vs reverb); etc $\endgroup$

Check a music production software (commercial: Logic/ Ableton/ Pro Tools. Open Source: Ardour, Mu Lab) or otherwise audacity. Add a stereo widening tool plugin. For that check KVR Audio
