Llisten to this!

  • In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

    Here is some of my old work.. the first pic is of a 3d model of a human head I was working on about 2 years ago in 3dsmax, using nurbs. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't model a head with…

You don't have to be an audio person to enjoy this, so put on some headphones and listen to this :).

Thats a dummy head with mics in the ears, or a 'binaural' recording. Steal a mannequin from a store and tear the head off and you should be able to reproduce it :)

Was it just me or was the sound behind all of the time?

It ain't just any binaural recording though... most of those dummy head mics are used to try and capture the sound as a person hears it from a particular position in the room. They all still record in stereo though... no front to back just left to right.

Holophonic sound uses a binaural recording that has an inaudible digital reference signal superimposed over the top. The interference that this causes is recorded aurally then added to the original binaural recording to create the 3d effect. Sounds like it is just a method of accurately manipulating the phase of two signals...

apparently hearing impaired people can sense the presence of something when listening to it which suggesting the effect is more than just auditory...

Intriguing stuff

Yeah, did the matches spin around 360 degrees or did it just stay behind the head? It seemed to just be behind.

Wow, I never actually heard the dummy head mic setup. Very Interesting.
One thing I can say is that no software or hardware can reproduce that. not now anyway. I've tried heaps with phase shifting methods but got nowhere close to that.

It was just behind for me. I liked it when it went up and down more than side to side.

We have a surrond sound mic at uni that I would really like to use at some point.
