5 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Binaural Imaging"

Soft hit on a bell shaped object. Bell spins at the speed of an lfo. .

3d diy binaural dummy head recording. Intended for headphone listening. Assorted birds singing away in my garden at sunset. Best 'bee/blackbird/crow action' around -02:40 -> -01:30. Best on headphones, but works quite well on stereo speakers. Roland quad capture to pc.

Firework bang (right back). Recorded with experimental dummy head. Replica of own ears. 20mm. Dia. 'studio' condenser mics. Roland quad capture.

Field recording of an electric train passing by. Recorded fairly close, wide dynamic range. I had to reduce the input gain during the middle section of the recording to avoid overloading the adc. I think this a fairly good example of the spatial image binaural recording can provide. Gear: sharp minidisc, soundman okm binaural microphones.

This file was recorded on november 19 2013 at london's euston railway station quite close to the arrivals board. It was achieved using an olympus ls-100 digital recorder with cad m179 microphones attached to a jecklin disk (see wikipedia) to obtain the best sound possible. As opposed to quasi-binaural recordings where the user attaches small diaphragm microphones to his/her shirt collar (my usual recording method), the jecklin disk can be mounted on a semi-fixed object such as a floor-standing microphone stand which it was in this case, and left for a few moments for the best possible outcome. Using a jecklin disk means that there are no minute movements from a person trying to stand as still as possible, and for some unknown reason, this setup is able to differentiate in front and behind sound image although i personally do not know why this is the case.
