3D sound Anyone?

mmmm... more advanced binaural recordings.

Thanks for posting it.
 
Whats funny is i heard no damn difference in the first 3d demo. I use KRK RP6 G2s at proper equilaterial triangle listening distances and this works fine for creating a 3d sound.

I guess this works well for crappy speakers, but for me im fine with leaving the recording down to a single mic, and just letting good speakers image it. On certain songs i have the voice comes directly from my monitor, it certainly tricks me anyways.

That is how your stereo is supposed to sound. Pity most folks have never heard it that way. The demo sounds normal to me. Slightly worse but that is due to the bitrate.
 
Wait, so all he did was combine binaural recordings with speaker crosstalk cancellation - both of which have been around for decades, and have been combined together for some time as well...

Although, I imagine this is a unique software solution. It's just that he's trying to pass it off like something no one has ever done before.

Also, this brings to my mind the question of in-ear versus near-ear binaural mics.

Me too. I can't help but think that cost and knowledge are the 2 main things that are getting in the way.

I really doubt that's why myself.

Considering that despite the drastic increase in use of headphones with the advent of portable DAPs, speakers remain the primary (sometimes only) method of listening for much of the population - and mastering thus continues to be done with speaker playback in mind (and checking mixes to make sure they sound okay with headphones - that's why we don't have hard-panned stereo recordings anymore).



Also, binaural recording techniques are more or less in opposition to the overproduction that is popular today. Check out this comparison of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's mic'd drum kit versus that of the Dave Brubeck Quartet:

I don't think there's any question as to which is better recorded (and mastered). It's not the one with more mics than I can count.



I think you also have the issue of when you have the goal of creating music that isn't really performable in the same manner at a live show - a la The Beatles' last few albums, or, say, Dark Side of the Moon. There's less extreme examples as well. What do you do then? It's as much performance art as music at that point, so I guess the goal for accuracy doesn't apply nearly the same.
