Same to you and yours, Destin -- God bless!

[@ErickLeonBolinaga]

I know is different, this is open space, seems to be harder to achieve it, but if you could add some space to the background noise, don't know how to explain, in this song they did it pretty well (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWbSoIN9es6Lock), like feeling some empty space between you and the background noise, that would be astonishing. As far as I know there are some algorithms for it. Thanks for this kind of content!

[@olevolbracht9107]

It's interesting to hear the different languages spoken

[@kalylbmmi]

yeah, i picked up like 5 or 6 different languages

[@guilhermegamerbr8391]

I'm Brazilian and I'm very surprised i only heard a few people talking in my language, it's probably because most of them were tourists

[@pedrobluis]

More spanish than portuguese! Thanks for the "obrigado". Pedro from Portugal

[@TheRealTobias]

It actually felt a bit strange "being" so close to so many other people in this strange times. Thanks for this strange but pleasent experience Destin! :)

[@sapatomaluco]

I am from Rio and I went to the monument a few months after you visited it. It's really an amazing view, like very few others in the world, especially in a beautiful day like the one you got. Everybody should come and visit it. And thank you for collecting the bottles!!!

[@MusicalJackknife]

Man, that helicopter though! I knew it was "behind me" and couldn't wait for you to turn around!

[@markscheer7393]

At the moment you walked all the way out on the platform and turned around to look back at Christ with the clouds in the background it gave me cold chills at that moment because it looked just like I would picture the return of our Lord and Savior coming down from Heaven.

[@ember3920]

love it!!! it actually made me feel much better. I was getting pretty depressed, and you being in a crowd made me feel like I was there. Psychologically, I feel like I took a walk in a crowd. I haven't had social contact IRL with anyone for 4 weeks now, so it felt really really nice!!!

[@johnhackemeyer9520]

Love Smarter Every Day -watched all the videos. Then I found Sound Traveler -absolutely love these videos. Great job...

[@DobraEspacial]

So cool to see you visiting my country, Destin! Great video 😄

[@adamwright3971]

This is absolutely astonishing. I was home alone when I found this channel (after binge watching some Smarter Every Day), with a curved monitor and some headphones. I honestly felt as if I was walking up the steps to a place I've only seen in movies. More than once I turned my head to try and see something off screen, like the hat stand at 2:52, and had to snap back to reality and realize I was at home. Its almost unnerving how easy our brains can be tricked with just two senses (sight and sound) while our other three senses are sending completely different information. Amazing! Thank you for the awesome trip!

[@RodrigoKazuma]

Well... I'm a Brazilian and never bee there. Thanks for share this with us!

[@silentassassin4514]

I have so much respect for you with that simple gesture of picking up trash left behind by such disrespectful visitors. I want to thank you for giving us a little enjoyment while we are stranded in our homes during this crisis.

What an exciting experience, thank you! Christ is Lord

_Speeds up video_ *the sound time traveler*

[@MusicalJackknife]

Thank you so much for this! Every now and then I'll remember this channel and be sad that the uploads stopped coming, so this was quite a welcome surprise. My friend got back from Rio just in time for these travel restrictions to start taking effect, and he mentioned visiting Christ the Redeemer. Now I get to too!

[@peachfreude]

Thanks for not abandoning this channel. I really enjoy your videos here and at your two other channels 💛

[@DaveAp7]

This and Rambalac are two of my favorite KZbin channels; especially during times like this when it feels like the whole world is being quarantined. I know these aren't substitutes for actual travel, but the sense of being in a place really gets across with the audio. It's like a feeling of community, even though I'm thousands of miles away at home. Thank you for always uploading and sharing your experiences with us! I know it takes a lot of effort, but I genuinely appreciate it. Can't wait to see what you share next!

[@rexy218]

[@amnesiascrub12]

Welcome back! Dang it's almost been 2 years since this channel uploaded. Greetings from the Philippines!

[@Murilo1999XXT]

Hello I am Brazilian (live in Vancouver) And don’t worry , there was nothing weird in the video, specially because there was more people speaking English and Spanish than Portuguese. Thank you so much for showing a good side of my country, I got goose pimples watching it, even though I already been twice there. Good luck and lots of prosperity !

[@Ktulu789]

Many argentinos speaking there, also some Colombians or Puerto Ricans some Mexicans, Frenchs or Canadians (or some other french speaking country. Some argentino was commenting about your head and whatever you had on, the camera or the mics, before you got to the ants xD). It's interesting how the camera picks up so many noises from the environment, steps, voices, screams and when you are there your brain just filters them all out so you hear only what you are interested in: the voice of your companion, the tweets of a bird, the wind... Awesome! Thanks for filming and sharing! Engenheiro = engineer Saludos desde 🇦🇷

[@macronencer]

Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us, Destin. Boy, was it crowded up there! I noticed the floodlights were all set at exact angles - I bet someone spent ages getting that all perfect. Oh, and well done for picking up other people's trash!

[@studionumber66]

Thank you again. Your channel is my peace in these times.

[@thigo94]

As a Brazilian this is so interesting, listening to people interacting normally while we currently are almost all the time at our houses because of the virus. Thanks for this Destin, you are a guy with a very special set of emotions and knowledge, very rare thing.

[@molequesoueu]

Amo este video. I love this video. I lived in Brasil for two years a while back. I underwent an "immersion training" with language, and It's nice to know that even now, some time after I've returned, I still am able to pick out conversations and understand what's being said. Thanks for this one!

[@Lou_TX]

Destin I love these videos! I watch these videos multiple times so that I can remember everything for when I go. You might think this is weird , but my dream is to become a U.S citizen and I've lived here since I was 5 and I'm current 25 so to me this is all I know and I call this great country home. Unfortunately every year it seems to get harder and harder to become a U.S citizen , nonetheless I keep my faith in god and in the universe that everything will work out for me so that I can get everything done so that i can become a citizen and get my passport I like to think I love traveling because all I can do is travel within the U.S and I love it!! But I watch these videos because I KNOW one day I will travel to these places I like to familiarize myself by watching your videos. So thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put into these videos!! I really appreciate them.

[@WatchesTrainsAndRockets]

Thank you. This channel is why I am glad that I have headphones

[@andrewkaylor2416]

Thanks for letting me take a break from Working From Home to travel along and experience this! Also, nice job on cleaning up the bottles. It’s the right thing to do, but I wanted to show appreciation as I’m confident that mentality carries onto many places that likely go without notice. Stay safe!

[@mike.correa]

Great content! I've never been there but this production resulted in a pretty immersive experience. It's funny to hear most people speaking spanish or english rather than portuguese, though.

Hey! I’m from Brazil originally and have been there a few times. This took me right back. Thank you!

[@kel3066]

When the video is so immersive social anxiety hits, loved it

[@Abyssionknight]

I have bad anxiety, and get really stressed in crowded areas. So instead of travelling and dealing with places overflowing with tourists, I like to watch videos of tourist destinations. Watching a video with crowds in it normally doesn't bother me in the slightest, but with the directional audio I actually did feel a bit of stress and anxiety watching this. I'm both disappointed by that fact, and really intrigued by it, since I've never really associated sounds with my anxiety before, so I've learned something new about myself! I'll definitely be checking out more of these videos... but probably only the ones in less crowded areas. :P

[@KyleMcNally]

Love this channel! Very difficult to find Binaural audio without the creepy asmr stuff on it!

[@KyleMcNally]

[@DOLfirst]

These sound videos have encouraged me to make an appointment with an ear doctor. Evidently the hearing in my right ear needs to be addressed 😳 I have been exposed to some loud sounds and they have caused considerable damage.

[@hassaanr60]

Can you make a video in Turkey please. I wanna feel how it feels to walk in the grand Bazar or Hagia Sophia or the Blue Mosque 😍😍😍

[@marcovandermerwe9875]

I have a request, can you please take your equipment out to a local air show? I have never seen the Blue Angels or any American jets live and to be able to hear the power of the aircraft would be so amazing. I am amazed by sound and to date the best video I have ever watching was the NASA rocket launch in 2018 that you uploaded.

[@willvvf161]

I have a video suggestion for you. The 5th Presbyterian church in Chicago has a gigantic organ that Rob Scallion has done some videos with. The organ, if you're not familiar, is literally built into the structure of the entire building. This organ also has a MIDI input port which Rob has showed can be used to play music from a laptop. He repeated said that there is no way he could capture how truly amazing the organ sounds in person, so I thought you might want to give it a go. I'm sure there are other churches with similar organs closer to you if you don't want to or remain unable to travel, but I know that the church leadership at 5th Presbyterian is willing to allow youtube videos to be filmed there. It might also make a good topic for a SED video while your there.

[@doufmech4323]

Especially with the COVID-19 around this is nice to hear since I can't travel there myself. Thank you.

[@rockofalethia9387]

I love you guys! Suggestion: I think you could pass your video through a video stabilizer and improve the experience -even better is take the video with a true lens stabilized video camera. Also, you might experiment with pushing the microphones about 15-20% farther apart. (Sorta like HDR for stereo) - it's a thought :-)

[@dippercacapupu6071]

Dude I love your channel smarter everyday your aweome

[@JT-hi1cs]

Here’s something I noticed: it’s way easier to distinguish between talks when the audio is binaural. Even when 2 different groups of people speak together, it seems easier to know what they’re talking.

[@doreangrey1712]

Wow!!!! very awesome.

[@miguev]

Thanks for these, a great way to be kinda there, from here. Mind you, the elephant riding one remains my favorite, but this one got very close :) These immersive videos work best IMO when there are many different sounds in different directions and distances, like towards the end with the choppers going around and all the people talking all over the place, this was more immersive than others where there is one dominant sound that kinda drowns everything else. On the image side, I don't think it's necessary to have your GoPro set to such a wide angle, it distorts the image a lot and we're probably not looking at this from up close enough to have the same perspective. Maybe just when outdoors try dial down the wide angle? Just a suggestion, maybe worth trying some day.

[@xliquidflames]

It would be awesome if you also did a 360 version of these so I can use my Google cardboard or Daydream to look around as you're walking. Don't get me wrong. this is very cool on its own. I still love these videos. 360 would be a nice touch.

[@Jaster_Mereel]

Very cool! Came from Smarter Every Day.

[@smokejc]

ok.

[@newmonengineering]

you should consider putting the microphones under an ear shaped enclosure. I have seen a few videos where they do this. It definitely changes the perception of the sound.

[@NickWeissMusic]

Love this channel, enjoyed every video. I appreciate your fascination with sound. As a pro sound guy myself, if I might offer one suggestion: try panning the hard left and right a little more toward center. You can also play with the width of each stereo channel if the soundstage asks for it, come to think of it that might work even better, if you can widen each channel so that they overlap a little bit, that might thicken up the center. To my ears, there’s too much going on in the far left and right and not enough signal coming though in the center. Basically, you want the entire soundstage to deliver sound pressure, not just the far left and right, trickling down to less in the middle. It’s normal for a binaural or hard panned stereo microphone to exaggerate the stereo field, and unless software decodes it into a full stereo soundstage, well, you gotta do it yourself. Any decent audio workstation will allow you to tweak this, and ultimately, it’s up to your ears what sounds best. I don’t think you will lose the immersive feeling by gently widening or panning until the middle of the mix “feels“ as present as the edges, in fact, I think it will enhance the experience, since what is in front of you will be heard in front of you, and not spread out to the sides. If I get a few free minutes tomorrow I will grab the audio and experiment myself, it’s a very simple process. Might sound like crap, you never know in this business lol. At any rate, great channel, and I’ll continue to watch each video as they come out.

[@terryedgerton7513]
