It sent chills up my spine. It's so great. :D Here's a link (http://www.quietamerican.org/field_vietnam.html) to some other binaural recordings. I still think the one up top is the best though.

holy sh*t!!:eek:
how do they do that? I wish they did this with my games too :(.


kinda annoying sound, though... in the end I started punching the guy...

That is freakily awesome! :eek:

woah

what the hell...i don't get it...it sounds like a guy brushing his teeth?

Oh, damn...
That was fun, I wish I knew how they would do that.
I actually felt like extending a fist out to see if I hit something

I hit my monitor :(
pretty awesome though.

Lol, awesome? I found it irritating... sounded like a human helicopter. :/

wow, thats awsome :thumbsup:

Kinda scary though, with your eyes closed and all...

it's awesome cuz i played it on my surround sound and it sounded like someone was walking around me.

Binaural recordings are made with a couple of REALLY high-quality mics embedded in the ear canals of a life-size foam rubber copy of a human head. It's the closest thing to a real "being there" experience that you can get with a recording. It's true stereo, like what you hear with your own ears in nature, rather than what most of us are used to hearing out of our speakers.
However, to actually get the full effect, you have to wear headphones like Rhett said. The playback speakers have to be as close to the position that the recording mics were in (where your eardrums are) for the spacial image to remain intact.

The way I understand it*, it's do do with when the sound hits your ears. You only have two ears, right? They're not all the way around your head, so how can you tell where a noise is coming from? It's the sound hitting each ear micro-seconds apart (maybe even nano-seconds?) that creates the sensation (or in this case, illusion) of position.

I believe some musician (Jean-Michel Jarre maybe?) experimented with it a few years back calling it Q-Sound or something, but it basically came to nothing. Recording it isn't the problem, but your playback equipment has to be absolutely precise to handle it properly.

Well, now the technology's caught up, so what's keeping 'em?

I have a cassete that is a rainstorm... I feel asleep listening to it.

I was waiting for a loud sound to scare the sh*t out of me.

Yeah, I quickly scanned through the file first for that same reason :xp:
