Binaural Audio as Fast As Possible

[@BumbiSit]

I was really waiting for some cool example of binaural sound.

[@samcox6156]

S. Vestrè go to the sound traveler if you want to hear some cool sounds.

[@yourmommashouse]

Somebody watched the shoot down a lost drone video 😂

[@Shawn.Shooter]

Hey is Spatial audio on airpods pro is similar to binaural sound?

[@duggggggg]

Search up the tucker zone

[@RichardCraig]

Congrats on doing a video about binaural audio without actually featuring any binaural audio.

[@tpcs8667]

Richard Craig Did you maybe think about the possibility that Linus did NOT have time to search the endless sea of the net trying to find some samples that WEREn't copyright protected? I'm unsure how difficult it could be, but it's possible.

[@RichardCraig]

tpcs Did you maybe think about the possibility that he went on and on about how simple it is to do and could've just used two microphones to demonstrate it?

[@ThoolooExpress]

Richard Craig Not just any 2 mics will do, and there's some special processing required to sort out phase issues, so it won't sound terrible on anything other than headphones. Also, it's not very convincing unless you have ear models, and for the best recording you need a head model too. You can buy binaural sets that do all this, but I don't think he's going to spend the money for one video.

[@Katzelle3]

I expected the whole episode to be recorded with a binaural mic.

[@RichardCraig]

ThoolooExpress It still would've been better than nothing if they'd done it janky style.

[@SupremeScience]

Needs better white balance

[@LuisAlbertoDiazAlfau]

***** i think the same . its looks wierd.

[@neonlights_12]

It's the weirdness from the new office. They're not quite all settled in yet

[@archinhoo]

Nick S. Or maybe the weird lighting from the old office without much of the crap, if they filmed it during moving days or sth.

[@wavedash-]

+Chemistryisthegame White Balance as Fast as Possible

[@krass76]

***** actually, to me the whitebalance seems strange for a LMG video but it seems more on point than what they presented all these years ago, which was rather orange-pink than actual skin color.

[@vwestlife]

ASMR as Fast As Possible

[@htfcirno2000]

vwestlife Oh hi vwestlife! I was not expecting to see you here o.o

[@DoktorJammified]

vwestlife In a nutshell: tingly feeling around your head and neck area (can also happen somewhere else) in a response to stimuli that you find pleasing.

[@RobinLabadie]

vwestlife So fast that Linus couldn't talk about ears' frequency response depending on the angle it reaches them, which is a major part of ASMR. If you didn't know that and read this, now you do.

[@neonlights_12]

Check out Heather Feather, she does great stuff

[@IncoherentOrange]

vwestlife SciShow did an episode on it recently. You should check that out.

[@saltpot]

For those interested, you can find a lot of binarual audio in the ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) community as well. HeatherFeather is a great example. There are a few binaural music selections as well. Pink Floyd experimented with it some on tracks like On The Run, as well as a few others. I have a few songs from an Album called PowerCut Volume 3 that was done in binaural as well.

[@LazerLord10]

One thing also that I've heard about with binaural sound is how sounds coming from behind you get slightly muffled by your head and ears being there. It's a pretty important part of the realism of it all.

[@poloniumfist6059]

***** Yes, thanks to the shape of the human ear and head we don't confuse sounds behind from sounds in front. Neat!

[@ThoolooExpress]

***** That's why most binaural mic sets have a dummy head, or at least a set of dummy ears.

[@Quiet_Viking]

Yeah, I was listening to an experimental binaural rooster teeth podcast where they used the dummy head. Whenever they would get up and walk past it to get a drink or yell something from behind it I would instinctively look behind myself in the direction of the sound, even though I knew it was coming from my headphones. It's a pretty strange feeling.

[@leatherelf2078]

In the 60's and 70's a lot of Rock bands experimented with binaural sound. Bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and others took advantage of the new Quadraphonic sound systems for the home and for head sets.

[@TheSkullPod]

didnt even mention asmr :'(

[@xMrin10se]

Yessss was hoping for a comment like this

[@ACertainJade]

I guess "Virtual Barber Shop" was their hint at ASMR. Lol

[@Ashertheawesome]

***** stfu

[@skywrecker]

He did he talked about a "virtual barber experience that is kinda creepy" im pretty sure he meant asmr since he said it was a big community

[@iAmDiBBz]

Asher woodman oh.. look... we have a kid here!

[@Nrojc]

funny lighting, anyone?

[@J0rdhardwell]

Nrojc They're in a "temporary" set up in the new office. Not sure if they're fully set up yet but going by the Vessel update vlogs they aren't.

[@TwilightWolf032]

Nrojc Couldn't help but get uncomfortable by it too!

[@ssbmfan4]

Nrojc I liked it. The shadows added contrast and made him look grittier and more realistic.

[@orcaflotta7867]

David Naoum Zacly! It's TV lighting, pretty harsh and contrasty, which is very natural in its appearance.

[@miceblue425]

So glad you made this video Linus! I do most of my spoken audio recordings with in-ear binaural microphones.

[@RRW359]

3:45 Thanks for the nightmares, Linus.

[@2482jamie]

Hey Linus my first comment. Been following you for a while, I have to say this was really well explained you have me really exited for the future of binaural audio! PS can you do a build on a really hardcore music recording machine. Thunderbolt interfaces when recording high-res audio in multiple channels with the daw running all sorts of effects and other fancy stuff takes a lot of power. It would be cool to see what you would build to do such a thing! The deeper I get into making my home recordings I really see how limited I am and can only imagine the potential of a build like that. Keep up the good work !

[@VideophiIe]

No example? :(

[@TwilightWolf032]

LtRoyalShrimp Just search for ASMR on youtube. There's a lot of those going on around, and if you get uncomfortable with the roleplays (like the barber shop thing), just look for "No Talking" videos (just type No Talking and ASMR when searching).

[@Bacavoit]

LtRoyalShrimp Search for ASMR :)

[@nadkudo1798]

LtRoyalShrimp just search virtual barber shop... it's cool and creepy at the same time :P

[@respectingopinions]

LtRoyalShrimp There's also a new audio drama company that makes virtual, 3D audio productions, like short binaural audiobooks, youtube search: 'The Owl Field'

[@petef15]

0:15 Command and conquer generals china command center music? or the red guard noise?

[@trppmdm]

petef15 Exactly :D I think it's some popular melody in China that is used both here and in Generals.

[@s.w.t.6581]

Nice job, Linus. Do you mind if I use your "minute" sample @1:05 in one of my mixes? IDK what it is but I can't help rewinding to 1:05 :D

[@sbrazenor2]

I've actually been in a room that was setup to use a surround sound system as a binaural experience. I could actually hear things moving around me virtually in space. Bose has it in some of their stores.

[@RaaynML]

Wh... "Beenarul"? I've only ever heard it as "Buy-nor-ul"

[@sleuthelle]

It is pronounced bye-nor-ul bi means two aur means ear al means pertaining to so literally binaural means pertaining to the two ears.

[@Suntro]

I love this channel so much.

[@mothereric8774]

2:20 What about crosstalk cancellation?

[@DropsTheMike]

any regular stuff I can listen to with this? any time I search it all I get is the standard "lucid dreaming sound track" "peace of mind buy me jewelery" kinda crap :/

[@TimVels]

Thanks Linus for this informative video. I didn't know about Binaural sound until I watched this

[@Cheese1master]

I love the editing of these videos.

[@DiZh0]

5min of vid. I remember 1 thing: 1:39 Bibedi bobedi

[@darealrulezbreaker9493]

+DiZh0 loopvideos.com/Ap7S13JHOsQ?from=99&to=100

[@rohithkumarsp]

Binaural Audio with no Binaural Audio in it. come on.. do i really have to go to an other video just to hear how it would have sounded?

[@TorrentialTech]

The colour grading wasn't matched on the Audible segment as the rest of the vid. Also, the keying looks a different in the Audible segment.

[@Jaru]

Asmr......... that is all lol i listen to it all the time. Its relaxing and pretty much every video of Asmr is binaural. Its pretty cool stuff though! The Blue Yeti is a cheap mic that a bunch of people have and that is capable of doing audio that way :D

[@RaytracedFramebuffer]

2:15 That was epic... and unexpected at the same time. Whoever put that on there, you are my hero :D

[@PhobosDDeimos]

Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice features binaural sound prominently. Definetely an experience worth checking out!

[@nextlifeonearth]

So... What does sound processing like with AMD TrueAudio have to do with this? I still don't know what TrueAudio does that distinguishes it from traditional sound processing.

[@samsen201]

Thanks a lot for this priceless clip. Enjoyed profoundly and you have one more subscriber.

[@HyperactiveSeaLion]

Sponsor spot on the new set! :P

[@slikric2234]

There is a KZbinr that does audio speaker reviews using binaural mic so you can get a feel of how the sound might sound with that...it's pretty cool

[@trei2unu]

is there any website/forum about binaural recordings and equipment? also how much would a budget setup cost?

[@holopengin]

You slightly missed the mark on the VR section. In VR games, binaural audio isn't recorded using multiple mics, rather, mono recordings and sound effects are placed in the scene, and the game engine then simulates the binaural (positional) audio perfectly (better than any usb "virtual surround" gaming headset). Using microphone arrays for binaural audio only really makes sense for 360 degree VR videos, but it's not in any way useful for games, which already do the processing themselves.

[@chris195868]

Kevin H. "(better than any usb "virtual surround" gaming headset)" Probably, but the current tech is also really good for what it does. Currently, Dolby has their Dolby Headphones (also known as Dolby Digital Live), which converts a 5.1 audio signal into a stereo signal using some form of binaural processing. I have a headset with this, and it's surprisingly convincing, good enough that i use it as a daily driver. The only difference between Dolby Headphones and the binaural audio you speak of, is the amount of detail present between the 5 channels of audio, including above and below the listener.

[@holopengin]

Christoffer Nørskov The problem with surround sound headphones that convert multi channel surround is indeed resolution. I have some surround sound headphones too and they certainly aren't bad, but there's no comparison to actual binaural audio. AMD has an in-engine demos of their TrueAudio for example (and a few games support them if you have the right graphics card). Oculus has their own audio SDK that provides binaural audio simulation to games as well. Hell, a lot of older games had binaural audio, but the SDKs they used depended on old versions of Windows to work.

[@DavePoo]

Kevin H. Agreed, i just posted a comment saying exactly the same thing, then i read yours. All game sound is a mono source and then mixed in 3D to as many channels as desired (ie. Stereo or 5.1 surround).

[@jamesslick4790]

Thanks for explaining Binaural. People often confuse this concept with Stereo, while they are related, they are NOT the same. All "binaural" IS "stereo", Not ALL "stereo" is Binaural.

[@jamesmoorcroft8967]

The virtual hair cut is super cool. Also Pearl Jam's Binaural album takes advantage of the this tech.

[@prron89]

This is used on almost all of Yamaha’s high end digital pianos.

[@CabooseCore]

before i fixed my pc my headset was worked now the there is static when i hear something its static the pc problem was that after windows load my pc and mouse didn't work and spend 6 hours it only worked in safe mode and bios then i turned off a setting in my mother board settings what am i doing with my life

[@Astro_Jeff]

Why don't you record videos in binaural sound?

[@marioysikax]

It would be nice to have binaural level audio on video games in general, not just VR. After all many are already using headphones and in first person games it would be great benefit in many aspects.

[@MrBiky]

TrueAudio already had the feature with "you turn around, but the sound source remains in it's initial position" and many FPS has this technology built-in, even old ones like DOOM3 and CSS.

[@emilau11]

Do i activate surround sound on my headphones when using this or keep it in stereo?

[@garthvater]

did you guys green screen a white background at the new office???

[@SuperBone1392]

Why did you switch shirts just for the promo at the end?

[@Darkhalo314]

Is this what I hear in Avenged Sevenfold songs? They have two guitars, and I can hear one guitar in one earphone, and the other guitar in the other earphone. I can even sometimes hear the guitar "shifting" and moving from each earphone.

[@prof.dr.rajaniyer140]

Does it have any effect on mind and brainwaves if heard with PC speakers....?

[@MrMrperfect123]

what about isochronic audio?

[@nuvaboy]

I would've liked to have been pointed out what binaural audio recording is in contrast to stereo recording explicitly.

[@sumitmukherjee513]

Which windows 10 version is best for gaming ?

[@GTzOnlyAssassin]

was this shot at the new office? The lighting looks different

[@TheBestKmanEver]

you need to add upon this with HRTF which anyone can use (with some extra work) HRTF is easiest to explain as Binaurual Rendering which uses the same idea but is achieved a little differently

[@robertmcelfresh1031]

My car stereo did Binaural. Years ago the Alex Bennet show in San Francisco said they were wiring a 'head' shaped microphone into the board and they would give us a demo in a few minutes. They cut to some commercials and I changed freeways and forgot. Then suddenly they came back and it sounded like someone had materialized in my passenger seat. I almost ran off the road when I jumped.

[@operationssuperstar]

A quick note: Actual binaural recordings must include some sort of baffle like the false head (or even a real head in a pinch). Otherwise, all you're left with is an ORTF pickup pattern, which sounds completely different than binaural.

[@ThePlanBPill]

ASMR best binaural experience. Surprised you didn't mention them when talking about youtube communities.

[@crossvadar249]

Linus, can you quickly explain why recorders are recording -db instead of +db?

[@devtank]

I make binaural recordings, have done for 20 years: it is completely possible to hear binau recordings using speakers. You just place the speakers facing each other and sit in the middle.

[@DaRUde117]

Does this have any relation to Binaural beats?

[@imkow]

then what's the difference between Binaural and Stereo?

[@ThatChannel48]

Is it possible to make old songs sound binaural? Maybe guns n roses...

[@yourdoge8327]

i think around 2:36 you said audio file when its audiophile

[@JasonNavarreteFilm]

the new studio light looks good

[@radonstudio]

What's the difference between that and stereo sound?

[@CMADE]

Radon - House Music "Stereo" sound is restricted to channels - binaural is not. "Stereo" sound can't reproduce sounds from above and below you - binaural can. "Binaural" audio is stereophonic. But in recording terms, "stereo" is a x channel sound. Two channel, 5.1, 7.1, etc. "Binaural" is an audio technique, that simulates the way our brain translates frequency response changes and time differences to place audio objects in space. It's a better and more accurate audio, unrestricted to channels and tied to the objects themselves. "Binaural" audio also simulates 3D space, whilst stereo can do only 2D(length and depth).

[@yannik246]

You can duplicate the effect on studio monitors if they are set up properly. Headphones work better though.

[@brotalnia]

Who needs headphones, i'll just stick the speakers to my head with duct tape.

[@elevatorman5468]

brotalnia lol

[@CraftSized]

Wait why would you record the sound through fake ears? I mean think about it, then you're presenting the sound to actual ears as if it's already been through ears. It's like listening through two ears at once, yours and the fake ones.

[@CMADE]

CraftSized You can learn everything by reading about binaural audio and our auditory system. But long story short, recorded audio is different than real sound. It doesn't travel through air and isn't arriving from specific angles with tight time differences. You need to record an audio with a fake ear to "embed" needed clues for our brain to decipher.

[@details2378]

Wut since when do techquickie video go live on vessel and youtube at the same time

[@dougle03]

So Linus, the HDR motion footage really looks odd - It's not an improvement despite the technical challenges to produce it!!

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

Anyone know a game with this, like that has the slight delay aswell, not just volume, or do most games have the delay?

[@FiNiTe_weeb]

Btw, for music, Chipzel - Waiting.

Last audible ad was recorded in the new office. LinusTechTips AAAhaan

[@romeotango5597]

For recordings, binaural is great. But remember, for real time audio simulation, it takes more in a real time, dynamic, game environment. You need to simulate the bounces sounds make around you to hit your ears, as well as passing through materials.

[@ClayREZify]

what's the difference between binaural and stereo?

[@Dreamer1422]

You should Explain WDDM 2.0. I still don't understand it.

[@thelonesculler]

Was this filmed at the new office?

[@EinJamaisVu]

360° recording is just necessary for movies etc., in games you could just generate this effect live, in fact even some old sound cards can do it already.

[@boomer3052]

Instead of using only headphones what about using some directional speakers like the TurtleBeach - HyperSound found in the Call of Duty thing at Best Buys? Just wish they had a cheaper more open to the public option for them available.

[@The1wsx10]

technically you could have binaural audio with speakers. but you would need a set of 2 of a special kind of speaker called a parametric speaker. point one at one ear and the other at the other ear then put binaural (or stereo as it is more widely known) music on

[@zuiron6016]

whatsup with the lighting in this video. very weird compared to all other ep's

[@masterjv1236]

The virtual barbershop is very...creepy. It actually sounds like they're cutting your hair and I was afraid of cutting my finger if I tried to stop the virtual barber. I really recommend that video to everyone.

[@wartab]

You should really look up the Virtual Barber Shop video. It's amazing.

[@Marst_art]

i dont think anyone color corrected this xD

They're not fully settled in the new office so the videos will look weird for a while

[@teonabaraboiu2295]

every time I listen to binaural audio (especially music) I always here it only from behind, like 180° at the back of my head... my ears might be a bit broken

[@CHarrisMedia]

How about a DDoS protection & Null Routing video?

[@1972Earny]

Once I heard a binaural YT-video with bees, tickeling my ears and I felt a hair-dryer blowing in my hair. Amazing

[@dgurevich1]

You know what is missing in a techquichie about binural audio? Binural fucking audio. Seriously, how hard was it to lease these microphones for one episode?

[@5yotub]

Linus, it is actually possible to correctly reproduce binaural recording on a pair of speakers. The process is a bit more complicated (you need the binaural recording and a Blackbox that processes the audio), but doable since the 70s I guess. I can give you the paper if you want 😁

[@zanelohman4538]

I was like wait this is old technology then realized the video was 3 years old 😂

[@みや-r8y]

Is the sponsor part of this video recorded in the new office?

[@shawnshih7394]

No Linus, you can use it on speakers. Just that you have to redo the transfer function again

[@victormuriel7266]

Screeeeeech... (Agrresive driver hits the breaks) IF YOU UPMIX this binaural mix to let's say, Dolby Atmos, DTS X, or Auro 3D, yes, you will enjoy it. Not exactly like when using headphones but, it'll be a nice experience. (I've tested it at home) (Aaand thanks for reading this ridiculously honest comment)

[@sors07]

It's gonna be hard to sell that car later on.

Binaural audio means theres no crosstalk between left and right channels when listening. That's it. Headphones are binaural, a pair of speakers is stereo.

[@njhourigan7615]

If you haven't tried the virtual barbershop you really should it's incredibly cool
