This technique is called Binaureal recording.
You will need headphones for this to work…so close your eyes and make some quiet around you.
Let’s start with “Virtual Barbershop”:
Frizerul virtual
It really gaved me chills. You literally can hear a full 360 degree sound range with these next items: blow dryer (you had your hair done..so now you will have to keep it dry), some scisors, a lady has something to whisper on your ears (pay attention to her), somebody will light some matches and he will make quite a noise.

hehe trodde det var noen som komm i døra jeg:P¨
Do you have any examples showing how you simulate sound sources coming from the front of your head?

This is great. It feels like they realy are in the same room.
To get a greater effect, close your eyes.
Those scissors is just cutting air! Grate illusions! Thanks for sharing.
I dont think i have ever had that much fun with sound :D…really cool, thanks for sharing.
Wow, the matchbox one is great! It really felt like there should be someone moving around me. I kept expecting to see something move.
Wow! That’s awesome!
Wow, it was actually kind of creepy to be completely alone and feel like someone is really there in the room.
coo
woah i got shivers down my back, nice post
wow… that was pretty creepy, especially because halfway through the barbershop my dad woke up. O_o
woooow how cool is this? are there any more like this?
Wow… this was just too cool!!
This 3D affect feels so real!
Thanks a lot ! Tow thumbs up!
That was so cool, thank you!
3D sound, huh?
They had this back in 1881.
Only then it was called STEREO.
Yes there are “lainey”.Its called the REAL LIFE. 🙂
wow! this is so cool! its so creepy though…ima google some more 😛
this gives me the chills lol
Very good!!!!
That was simply amazing. I’d love to hear more. Well done.
And Road Runner, no need to hate and contort words.
Lol. Can anyone give me a link to more?
This is NOT a binaural recording, it’s a holophonic recording. A binaural beat recoding is something that people use to alter their mind state. A holophonic sound is a recording of “3D” sound through use of a special microphone. Don’t lie to people, get your info right.
this would be great when stoned, really good experience
As someone who has recorded both with a dummy head microphone and a holophone, the difference between binaural and holophonic recording is simple. Binaural recording using a dummy head to allow a 3D sound image to be recorded as a stereo file. The subtle phase information created by using a human head shape, with ear lobes, a brow ridge and nose allow the brain to decode a 3D sound scape out of a stereo recording.
Holophones use multi mics placed around a head like shape to create 5.1 or 7.1 soundscapes. They rely on multi speaker setups to give a 3D soundscape, unlike binuaral stereo recordings which require headphones to work. An alternative is Ambisonics which uses a four capsule mic and a phase decoder plus four speakers to create a 3D soundscape.
In 1984, I recorded Australian musician Michael Atherton playing a variety of instruments in a stairwell and used binaural (dummy head) to create an amazing spatial sense as Michael was able to move with the instruments as he played including a finale with a bagpipe and leg bells when he walked away from the microphone which was on the 9th floor of the stairwell, down to the ground level. The album “Solo with Instruments” was released on vinyl and unfortunately was never re-released on CD. It is a shame I can’t offer a clip as it is a rare example of binaural recording where the sound source goes underneath the listener. The effect is powerful and profound.
