Can anybody tell me why not all music or audio is recorded binaurally? Because it sounds incredibly realistic, I really do not understand why this is not used at all, not even released together with normal releases. Or at the movies or something.
This is the first time in years I even see it mentioned and people sound all surprised and somewhat freaked out. It's not new technology or something, as far as I know anyway. My father happens to be an audiophile so that's why I happen to know, but it seems like really cool technology that nobody uses.
Most music isn't recorded live. Most instruments are recorded individually in mono, either because they are mono (e.g., and electric guitar, keyboard) or because they are rigged with a mic (e.g., drums). The stereo effect then gets added in the mix.
Hmm right. What about movies though? Those would sound super great, wouldn't they?
Edit: Or wait, they record sounds for movies individually too, most of the sound you hear is not there "live" or something... Or at least I think I saw that in some making-of once.
