	Binaural recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Binaural recording is a method of recording audio which uses a special microphone arrangement.
		The term "binaural" has often been confused as a synonym for the word "stereo", and this is partially due to a large amount of misuse in the mid-1950s by the recording industry, as a marketing buzzword.
		Recordings that are of interest are live orchestral performances, and ambient "environmental" recordings of city sounds, nature, and other such subject matters.

		The definition of binaural is: “Of or relating to sound transmission from two sources, which may vary acoustically, as in tone or pitch, to give a stereophonic effect”(1).
		As for the listeners to hear the binaural recording correctly, they would have had to be listening on two separate radios at the same time.
		The reason why stereo recording doesn’t make use of such a device is because stereo recordings are supposed to be output through speakers to allow sounds from both speakers to blend while in route to your ears.

		I'm actually hoping for one song, whether it is a b-side or not, to be a live binaural recording, with the head stuck in the middle of a room and the whole band placed in the room to mix it.

	The Binaural Source FAQ Page
		Binaural carries out a roughly similar operation, recording music and sounds with two tiny omnidirectional mikes at the entrance to the ear canals on an artificial head replicating human features (with the ears about 6 to 8 inches apart).
		All modern binaural recordings are compatible for loudspeaker playback, but unless you turn the speakers in and sit between them, you will lose most of the pin-point localization.
		Most binaural recording today is done with an artificial or "dummy" head replicating the human head not only in average dimensions and details but also in approximate hardness and softness of skin and bone.

		It was on this record that Blake managed to find a serious application for his environmental binaural recordings for the first time.
		For people attempting to record music, rather than environmental sounds, with binaural microphone techniques, recording wind as naturally as possible will generally be the least of their concerns.
		In my view, records that are created with a lot of mechanical experimentation tend to sound more original and unique than records that are made primarily with synths and samplers, although there are, of course, exceptions.

	Binaural Recording: Dallas Simpson
		The binaural recording technique is unique in that a fair, if somewhat variable and limited, representation of human three dimensional perception of sound may be achieved.
		Inevitably, the recording technique relies on sophisticated technology (portable digital recording techniques) and in presenting such a recording there are certain rules and criteria (which are by no means inflexible) which I have adopted as a referential framework for my art:
		That the most sublime recordings are those which have been perfected at a single location, using materials found at the location as instruments, in one continuous take, without rehearsal.
