![]() ![]() You place the dummy like any other main microphone.īinaural is recording to imitate the experience like if you were a person listening. So, Are the musicians actually in the room playing/feeding into those dummy head mics? The individual 5.1 tracks were fed into HRTFs, positioning them at the correct locations (left, center, right, left sourround, right surround) via binaural panning. A few years ago gaming sound cards were using binaural simulations for reproducing 5.1 signals on two channel headphones. While surround sound gives better localization compared to stereo, binaural is superior in that regard. I guess you could achieve the same thing with surround sound, though? Sometimes I also play with the EQ to mimic an HRTF. It has an interesting effect on headphones but isn't that noticable on speakers. I do occasionally use panning with delays on certain parts of mixes (like backing vocals). I don't know why it isn't more common, then.īecause it only works with head phones and actually can sound worse on speakers. It potentially allows for a lot more detail and depth in the listening experience. You can choose where to listen to the music. Not only can you can turn your head and the sound stage revolves so as to remain static from your point of view, but you might walk up to the singer and hear what they hear - or sit next to the drummer. Imagine, for example, listening to your favourite album, putting on some headphones and hearing the drums behind you, the singer in front of you, the bass to your right and a guitar to your left. The point for me then, is the potential sense of immersion and perspective. (traditional fixed binaural recordings don't take into account the fact that people have the ability to move their head while listening to things) IMO where binaural reproduction comes into its own is when it is derived from ambisonic techniques and 3D head tracking is implemented with greater degrees of freedom. ![]() It could be thought of as a 'purist' technique whereas modern stereo mixes are often focused more on aesthetic appeal than realism. Binaural is a recording/reproduction technique that tries to imitate how we experience sound in the real world. ![]()
