More on Binaural sound-The Virtual Haircut

If you'd read my earlier post on Binaural sound BS(and proceeded to listen to the sample I provided) read on.I just couldn't forget about BS..So I made a few searches and found some more interesting info on this mind-blowing technology.


The recording artists use a dummy head with microphones in each ear. What results is an amazing auditory experience. This recoding method has been around at least since the 1980’s. It’s not very popular because it’s hard to do well, and you have to wear headphones to get the full effect.Binuaral Sound technology is related to Holophonics.

From Wikipedia:

"Like all binaural recording, Holophonics simply reproduces the interaural differences (arrival time and amplitude between the ears), as well as rudimentary HRTF (head-related transfer functions). This causes the auditory system to hear the illusion of sounds existing from specific directions. Well known limitations of the technique include unreliable effects for some listeners, as well as very poor frontal localization (everything sounds like it's coming from behind the listener, explaining the narrow choice of demonstrations)."
