Support CTXMatrix – Help Fund Mac Testing & More!
Plugin stays 100% free forever. But Mac dev/testing needs hardware and software, plus ongoing costs like OneDrive subscriptions for secure file hosting/backups and eventually my own domain for a cleaner project home. A coffee (or two) ☕ could get us there quicker! No obligation—just huge thanks either way.
Share Your Experience – Help Keep CTXMatrix Alive & Free
Many users have reached out privately via email, Messenger, or direct messages with kind words—praising the enhanced 3D immersion, stable imaging, wider soundstage, and how it compares favorably to options like premium uBACCH. These messages have been incredibly motivating and directly influenced updates like v1.3. This helps me to keep CTXMatrix going for a long time with ongoing support.
​
Public sharing, however, remains very limited beyond Archimago's feedback and a handful of forum mentions. As the developer, I'm restrained by most audio forums' rules against self-promotion (especially where forums have paid sponsors or dedicated vendor areas), so I can't repeatedly post updates, bump threads, or promote CTXMatrix myself without risking violations. And since there is no commercial value to reviewers it is unlikely to get serious evaluation. Therefore, you can do your part by posting there—your real-world experiences (even short notes) carry far more weight coming from users than from me.
​
If you've sent positive feedback privately and have no objection to sharing it more widely, please consider posting your experience (anonymous is fine):
-
In relevant forum threads you've already seen (e.g., AudioScienceReview, Head-Fi, Audioholics, AVSForum, Stereonet, etc.)
-
Here in the comments below on this page
-
Or send me a short summary I can feature (with your permission) in a "Listeners’ Impressions" section, similar to the Ambiophonics testimonials on the homepage.
-
​
Helpful things to mention: your speaker angle/distances, calibration settings (delay/attenuation values), favorite test tracks, before/after impressions, or quick tips.
​
CTXMatrix is a solo, free project with real ongoing costs (hosting, backups, potential Mac testing/hardware). Visible community support—user stories, settings shares, or even a simple "it works great at 40°"—directly helps justify continuing development and improvements. Without more reciprocity, I may need to pause or archive it in the coming months.
​
Thank you to everyone who's tested it and reached out privately—your encouragement truly means a lot, even if not yet public. Let's build this together!
