Binaural Audio -The Nutcracker Suite (H)

[@nathanaeldavenport2251]

This is very good arranging. This sounds like it could be twice as many musicians as there are.

[@nestorismael4316]

Binaural audio is great

[@dustincammer7953]

This was amazing. The feeling of being amongst the performers and hearing all of the nuances of the performance distinct from one another was something else. Not something I’ve felt in great recordings of the same material. Now I need to listen to everything like this. I feel spoiled

[@dawinybastos]

a group playing for me. for the first time I listen to classical music so closely.

[@nikonjimmy]

Excellent performance. Binaural audio does it true justice. Fantastic all around.

[@ooikeanchat5378]

enjoying every single note.......great!

[@ImmersAV]

Greetings Ooi Kean Chat, Thank you for your positive comment, it is much appreciated. Best regards, Bob Schulein

[@pdebie1982]

Binaural audio is awesome! But this video would be even better if the camera was between the "ears". That way vision and sound would match and give an even more immersive feeling. Well played by the musicians by the way. This is one of my favourite classical pieces since I was a little child.

[@argonaise_jay]

It was surprisingly good experience and warm ending for the performers, perfect! I respect the tech and enjoyed every sounds. Truly it is the new future of the classical music listening. Thank you for uploading!

[@ImmersAV]

Greetings Youngho, Thank you very much for your positive comments.

[@ElizabethGarcia-lt9cq]

perfecto

[@JeanIbarz]

Very nice recording, best HRTF recording I have seen until now !

[@ImmersAV]

Greetings Jean, thank you very much for your positive comment.

[@BLYFACTOR]

Imagine if we could listen to concerts with binaural audio

[@Dack105]

Mad respect for those clarinet pit-stops.

[@deantasty7421]

6:46 it think she gets acknowledged from the contrabass guy for it.

[@keith6872]

There are lots of demonstrations on Robert Schulein channel. You can see all his demos there.

[@adriangarcia7890]

The best!!! Thank you!!!

[@regtwace]

Excellent skills, and excellent audio: Bravo!

[@ImmersAV]

Thank you very much for your positive comment. Did you know that you can also listen to this production in binaural using two stereo speakers. Please see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_Qg4xunpJ4r80 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqmaeoCwatd7ask

[@stelianajasmine8960]

Listening when studing very helpful

[@nestorismael4316]

Steliana Jasmine yeah I know right? For some reason it makes me center a lot more

[@johnw.dowding8669]

Awesome!!!!

[@ImmersAV]

Thank you for your positive comment John, it is much appreciated Best regards, Bob Schulein

[@123clausclaus]

Very impressive! I hope more recordings are comming for regular 2 channel setup or surround and not only for headphones.

[@Martins2012]

Thanks a lot for this!

[@sashacolic2427]

Fabulous, thank you!

[@specialagentdalecooper5367]

Very nice.

[@Del_Monico]

breathtaking

[@harryborkhuis8943]

I heard about the theory that the brains gets their front/back information from moving the head slightly (left, right). When moving to left then sound in front of you get a bit louder in the right ear and softer in the left ear. Sounds in back of you do the opposite. May be the recording head do this move now and then. Important in that case is that the video should contain a colored spot (that follows the movement of the head) so the listener can follow that spot and the brains get alligned to the sound.

[@Erbsengeneral]

there are cracking noises on my hifiman edition xs... maybe the youtube compression?

[@aDutchy1975]

simply amazing, why is this not catching up?

[@Jadinandrews]

Because you have to play real instruments, something few artists do these days. Also I imagine you have to record everything in one go, it is probably not easy to mix different tracks without spoiling the binaural effect.

[@JeanIbarz]

Yup it's just like video 3D : adding a 3rd dimension complexify creation.... need more skills, need more time. Also, 3D video is more easy to do then 3D audio as for now.

[@tuunaes]

Jadin, actually it would be possible to make binaural recordings from "normally" recorded instrument tracks.It simply needs mathematical modeling of wanted space with its acoustics, setting sound source locations and then using HRTF algorithm to get left and right ear channels. That's how PC games calculate sounds, except for that HRTF part.

[@SpaghettiToaster]

@@tuunaes "simply", lol. You'd need to correctly model (numerically approximate, really) the accoustics of the room and the human ear. This would require immense computing power, a perfect 3d model of the room (and everyone inside it) and even animated models of the instruments if they move. Absolutely infeasible.

[@tuunaes]

@SpaghettiToaster, your brain is sure limited, but DSP ASICs were doing environment acoustic modeling already over 25 years ago: web.archive.org/web/20090320094836/technology.arc.nasa.gov/success/successfiles/3DAudioSysConvolvotron_1992.pdf Aureal then bought that Crystal River Engineering and commercialized tech into PC sound cards some years later: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYrGY6OFec6Nnbcm10s If Microsoft hadn't killed DirectSound and sound hardware acceleration, we would no doubt have sound cards capable to processing upward thousand 3D positioned sound sources in quite accurate environment model and giving very realistic sound immersion with headphones. But after WinXP Microsoft dumbed down PC game sounds to push their X-box and PC games sounds are still in phase equivalent to graphics of original Quake. Also movie industry certainly has their solutions for mixing movie sounds. Dolby Atmos and DTS equivalent are now also moving movie sounds from handfull of fixed channels to format including 3D positioned audio objects.

[@whiskeyrivotril7777]

nice!

[@asilva781]

Must be recorded in a seting with less reververation. The reverberation gives a nice sense of space, as an xy mic ortf configuration. But made difficult to feel the timbres and the size of the imstruments.

[@honefone]

bangin songs..

[@lazychameleon866]

Me, a clarinet for the last like 12 years watching that clarinet player 👁👄👁 wondering how the heck she tongues that fast

[@kevinswaggerty3949]

Dolby Atmos pales in comparison to binaural! 🎉❤

[@jsbtuxman]

Prefer via PC analog over the ear headphones vs bluetooth ear buds. Better imaging.

[@schwei56]

Credit the arrangement, please! It's a tour-de-force for such a small ensemble! Bravi tutti.

[@felixhubner1903]

12:56 what exactly was so funny about the piano player? 😅

[@b3yourself91]

It took me two videos to realize that the person in front wasn’t real, but was the recording device lol

[@michaelberg7201]

Where can i read more about the type of equipment used to record this? Binaural is great but it seems like this recording didn't use ear shaped funnels as it is not possible to identify if sound is coming from above or below which does make this a less than perfect immersive experience.

[@Maxtutubo]

The Binaural Head Dummie need the read wave more approached for take the positional 3-D sound information. The sound in this take is only one approximation for the natural acoustic human perception. Approach the musicians from the rear wall of the scenary for the maximum best results. The Binaural microphonics and the natural ears needs the direct and the reflect waves sounds for locate the origin of sound. Sorry for my poor English.

[@bootsncaats]

I use 384KHz headphone and it sounds so good

[@ImmersAV]

Thanks for your positive comments. Look for more productions in the future. Best regards Bob Schulein

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

🤗👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@bernsbuenaobra473]

So that is a statue on the front that took me some time to recognize it stands there still as a log. Now its a reference for the left and right channel on my headphone! No AI can do these only humans can really! I have solved very difficult programming problems while relaxing my brain with classical music - I hope it does die with all the crap you hear around.

[@sunnysideup4687]

Is there any way to obtain a FLAC file of this recording?

[@foresthillwolf7998]

Probably recorded through a converter, so unlikely

[@erick-gd7wo]

1 Arrangement of the suite is charmingly lovely, der Walzer has bit Vienna Atmosphere. Too sad for the omission of the dance of sugar plum fairy since there was a pianist. 2 Today's smartphone are equipt with stereo speakers, so this binarual recording will eventually get bigger sinse the need arise.

[@IbadGrammarX]

feel like i sit front them

[@Skylance87]

Love these songs so much and hearing binaural is amazing. I do have one question what are those 2 things be the Violinist feet? one is making all kinds of sparkles

[@ImmersAV]

I am not certain but the violin and viola player are both using foot-controlled i-pads to read their music. The foot controllers may be the source of flashing lights.

[@Skylance87]

that makes sense then its the blinking light from blue tooth connectivity.

[@MMSZoli]

I suppose it is maybe some blutooth control pedal to watch their notes on a tablet...

[@wingobingo]

Dunno just be thankful there wasn’t a cat in the room 😳

[@dpqmix]

What kind of microphone is it? Can I have the reference? It sounds AMAZING

[@amadeusalberto4959]

It's a micro inside a thing with human head form, in order to catch the sound the most realistic sound.

[@Jadinandrews]

I like this very much, but I would appreciate it if the original flacs were made available. I'm not convinced that KZbin's compression and loudness compensation algorithm does this kind of recording any justice. It sounds good but the dynamic range is lacking.

[@ImmersAV]

Hi Jadin. KZbin does not support CD quality uploads nor does Vemeo. The only way that I can see meeting your needs is by selling the program. Would you consider paying for such programs? ImmersAV technology has two programs currently available. Please see www.immersav.com/store

[@Jadinandrews]

Robert Schulein - Binaural AV Recordings Hi Robert, thank you for your reply. I think it's a shame really, KZbin supports 4k 60fps video and they're experimenting with 8k now, but they have not given audio any love. I'll definitely consider buying the software, thanks.

[@psykojello4953]

You wouldn't hurt me, would you Brahms?

[@hudginsfrp3545]

Works well in a car

[@uninvestigated]

i wish people would not cough.. like, go away.

[@korben4leeloo]

I was wondering why I was hearing the flute in my left ear despite the fact that the flute player was on the right side...hum...I switched my headphone ears to the right way...problem solved...so shameful...

[@honefone]

actually, i think your headphones were on right the first time, and the movie is not correct

[@honefone]

++facepalm++ i had my digital interface mixer reversed.. so shameful..

[@sting1111]

Very nice but some vital instruments are missing. Must have a harp at least cmon..woodwind section fantastic, need two more violins. So close But fantastic! Try again.

[@LIFE-vf9ov]

Russian music 👍🏻

[@teddybozzio73]

My goodness, they play so horribly.
