Binaural plugins and speaker issues. Help with your experience

[Transfigurationsofbeing]

Some time ago, I discovered the INA GRM 3Dspaces plugin. I thought it was great because it didn't sound artificial like binaural audio. However, recently I saw a video where the youtuber mentioned that festival and club speakers are mono, which made me unsure. I've used the plugin a lot to layer some tracks up, down, back, and forward as a solution to playing more tracks at once. Do you know if my tracks will sound the way they do on my headphones on those speakers? Thank thank you very much!

Binaural audio only works on headphones.

Only 5.1, 7.1 Atmos can do a similar effect, but the workflow is way more complex than the binaural

This. I used to use DearVR a lot but found it either super phasy on a larger system or just like a pretty poor quality reverb and filter of which I already have plenty.

Your tracks won't sound like they do on your headphones on any speakers. This would be true even without binaural processing. If you're playing at a festival or club you can ask about the speaker configuration and tailor your mix for it. But binaural tricks definitely won't work in that scenario. There are various "headphones room correction" plugins that are supposed to make your audio sound like it would in a real space instead of headphones. These use IRs so I'd imagine you could get some club PA system IRs (get true stereo) and test your mixes like that.
In my experience with large PA systems, panning gets very lost in translation and you'd do better making sure your bass is under control, as hitting thousands of watts worth of subs with too much or messy bass sounds very bad. For smaller rooms you can set up your own speakers for a particular "immersive" audio experience (7.1 8.1 or any number of speakers you wish to configure) there are tools to do panning for any multi channel system you can dream up. Also smaller rooms will have a more noticeable stereo image centered around the stage if your into big panning effects.
