The Oculus one is a single plugin and a little more straight forward. Whereas the Facebook ones are a bundle of plugins that work together (Spatializer, Control, and a few others). Both were easy to download. Oculus also offers some free sounds under a Creative Commons license via that same link.

Spatializer is a binaural spatialization plugin.It processes the sound to give the feeling that it comes from a particular direction. It sets the position of the sound source in space and uses an HRTF (head-related transfer function) to compute the result by convolution. A comprehensive line of plugins for 5.1 and 5.0 surround sound, including reverb, compression, limiting, imaging, metering, virtual monitoring and upmixing. For this month’s theme of “Eureka!”, Chris put on his lab coat and did some in depth experimentation comparing a few different spatializer plugins. Below are his findings Image includes the 3D models “Headphones” by Google and “VR HMD” by Michael Fuchs, from the Google Poly library, licensed under CC-BY 2.0.
3-D Binaural Spatializer
The 3-D Binaural Spatializer is a VST plugin for Windows and Mac that gives the listener the illusion that the sound sources are actually in 3-dimensional space. It uses head related transfer functions to process the audio, allowing the user to choose an angle in the horizontal plane between 0° and 360°. There are instructions and other info in the README file. Also, this effect only works with headphones.
Note: The beta version of Audacity is supposed to support VST plugins, but I’ve been having trouble getting this to work properly inside Audacity. It should work fine in most other DAWs.

Use headphones!
Heres a concrete piece I wrote and mixed using this plugin:
Here’s some cardboard box sounds I ran through the plugin:

You can use envelopes to control the angle, just like with volume or panning.
(these plugins were released in 2011 when I was a student, and haven’t been updated since then)
