![]() ![]() The problem for me is that they are too often tempted to make silly effect with the panning, moving voices or instruments left to right or vice versa. In my opinion, a binaural recording can be annoying if done badly, or immersive if done well. The singer or instrument needs to stay dead center for the recording, the microphone setup needs to recreate human perception accurately, and there can be very little deviation from the ideal setup. The downside is it needs to be done with absolute precision. and a binaural microphone setup can capture that information (hence all the 3d talk) whereas a mono or dual mono setup cannot. ![]() Your ears are tuned to capture distance and depth information based on sound delays, reverb, frequency changes, doppler effect, etc. You can see more pictures here to get an idea. The benefit to binaural recordings is that since they mimic the human perception of sound, they provide a lot more depth/spacial cues based on the differences in sound reaching the L/R mics separately. Binaural recordings, on the other hand, are like mono in that there is a single recording location and like stereo in that there are two channels, but in order to mimic the human perception of sound the L/R channels are placed close but not directly together (sometimes even in a fake head). To record stereo for music, they typically use two mono mics spaced apart or double up on the mono track in stereo, mixing L/R differently to achieve spatial effects. You don't have to worry so much about mic placement or the subject moving around and changing the stereo image. Typically, it's a lot easier to capture a recording with a mono mic. ![]()
