Umm... what sound clip?

 

[rickcr42]

click the title "introduction to 3D audio",over 3 megs zipped mp3 file,the AM3D website has more binaural downloads but some are over 10 megs

---music,books,a game for the blind or visually impaired-really cool stuff

They are too friggin amazing... one telephone call, thought it was really mine, until I realized it didn't sound like my telephone...

 

[rickcr42]

the link at headwize is a little deceptive,it does not LOOK like a link-it is the actual title.I did not post that because if you click it you would be downloading a file immediately.But here it is

http://headwize.powerpill.org/mmedia/am3d_intro.zip big download for modem users but worth it,as chych said "too friggin' amazing" , I don't know where Chu finds this stuff

 

[skippy]

it doesn't do much for me. oh well.

 

[skippy]

wow! most of the stuff doesn't impress me, but the interrogation one scared the crap outta me! if only the acting was better...

 

[rickcr42]

what impressed me the most is the effort to bring this forward in a major way,and about damn time too

Other than the Binaural Source and some fringe websites there was not much out there for the average joe to dip into.Binaural will never take off in any major way until common people as opposed to geeks like us are exposed and impressed.I think they are on the right track if they get the word out.BTW-no way I download that 50 meg game,well,not tonight antway

Happened to me too and I reacted by looking over my shoulder...

 

[MacDEF]

OMG!!!!! That telephone just FREAKED me out! LOL

I *knew* to expect it, and I still took my headphones off!

 

[coolvij]

wow - the telephone was certainly VERY convincing...none of the vocals fooled me, tho......hmm.....the interrogation was kinda eery, I must note....and, well, I guess my Senn. 495s don't do front-to-back too well....

Sennheisers are great headphones, but they are horrible with binaural recordings. Horrible. The best binaural recording I've ever heard is on Stereophile's test CD 3 and it is simply amazing even on a portable cd player on MDR-V6s. It only got better when it was played on higher quality equipment.

 

[coolvij]

That's really weird, Jon.....wonder why?

binaural recordings sound wonderful on my hd580's. binaural on my 580's have a sense of realism that i've never heard from a stereo before.

it's strange that you mention that they're better on the v6. there have been somepeople that have said that the v6 is horrible on binaural recordings. though i've never heard a binaural recording on the v6's so i don't have an opinion on it.

i guess it really depends on how well the recording and the headphone matches the listener's ears. and since we all have different ears...

btw, when i said the interrogation scared me i meant the longer clip from the am3d site. the interrogation clip in the intro didn't do much for me either.

has anyone tried the diesel studio yet? i think it'd be perfect for people who want to compose electronic music in binaural, but i don't have the hardware to run it.
