Binaural recording opinions?
Binaural recording has been discussed before, but some of the newer followers of the recording section of the forum might be interested in opinions of the process.
I personally like it, but I'm not sold on the "distance" factor. Close micing conventionally seems to really benefit the sound, particularly vocals. Yea or ney? https://youtu.be/lUNNIAaSDys |

For recording it does seem to give more of a lateral spread than say a single LCD
The distance issue could be addressed with either automated compression or the typical stage technique of whomever is doing the "feature" stepping a bit more forward and the others stepping back For live performance I'm not sure a mannequin head at center stage would contribute to the performance visual (unless maybe the name of group was Dummy and the Holler Bottom Boys )

I see the dummy, but where were the mikes? Is the video the actual recording session or a simulation. Anyway, it sounded good to me.

A few points:
1. To the question, "Where are the mics?" They are in the ear locations. 2. May I draw your attention to the location? They' gobo'd up the space to dry it up pretty far. 3. For better or worse, binaural does a decent job of reproducing the sound stage. As a professional mixer I find the off-center placement of the lead vocal HIGHLY uncomfortable. 4. Oh, and by the way, the sound of the vocal recording is strident and has a "rip" to it that tired my ears really quickly. Bob

it would have been nice if had they told us what those mikes were.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_recording From the Wikipedia article it's apparant that the recording is being made with the "Bruel & Kjaer" head / torso simulator. I'm not sure what mics they are using, but some of the hardware from other manufacturers are using Neumann elements. Here's Neumann's KU-100 Binaural head with built-in condenser elements if anyone wants to pick one up and experiment... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...ummy_Head.html Last edited by Rudy4; 11-06-2017 at 08:11 PM. |
