Boba Rhett Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 This is an amazing binaural recording. Instructions are as follows. 1. Put on your headphones. 2. Hit Play. 3. And most importantly, CLOSE YOUR EYES. It's totally makes it better. Listen to the guy walk around you. Clicky Here It sent chills up my spine. It's so great. Here's a link to some other binaural recordings. I still think the one up top is the best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Binaural recordings are made with a couple of REALLY high-quality mics embedded in the ear canals of a life-size foam rubber copy of a human head. It's the closest thing to a real "being there" experience that you can get with a recording. It's true stereo, like what you hear with your own ears in nature, rather than what most of us are used to hearing out of our speakers. However, to actually get the full effect, you have to wear headphones like Rhett said. The playback speakers have to be as close to the position that the recording mics were in (where your eardrums are) for the spacial image to remain intact.

•-BLaCKouT-• Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Originally posted by Herminator_64 holy sh*t!! how do they do that? The way I understand it*, it's do do with when the sound hits your ears. You only have two ears, right? They're not all the way around your head, so how can you tell where a noise is coming from? It's the sound hitting each ear micro-seconds apart (maybe even nano-seconds?) that creates the sensation (or in this case, illusion) of position. I believe some musician (Jean-Michel Jarre maybe?) experimented with it a few years back calling it Q-Sound or something, but it basically came to nothing. Recording it isn't the problem, but your playback equipment has to be absolutely precise to handle it properly. Well, now the technology's caught up, so what's keeping 'em?
