Binaural head recording
Here’s a little clip of the project I’m mixing right now. I used the binaural had that I made as part of the mic setup, so this clip is just the head soloed. Listen one time on speakers and one time on headphones, you’ll hear the effect on headphones and it’s pretty cool.
It was positioned looking at a string quartet, and the piano is directly behind the head.
I’m still tweaking the head, this track has eq on it- it’s a little thin sounding naturally right now but there are a few reasons why that could be- the head I used is hollow, I may not have found the optimal depth in the silicon ears for the mics, or maybe some other things.
Anyway, here it is, it was fun to solo it earlier while I was mixing so I thought I’d share:

You have to listen on headphones, and it should sound like you’re in the middle of it. You physically moving doesn’t change anything.
the mix sounds really nice to me , i’m just wearing my fancy airpods 😂 it sounds very dimensional, mostly far left and right, with some things going on in the space around it, i don’t get a lot of “in the middle” or up front but i didn’t really miss it cuz it kept me surprised
also i’m a novice on mix critique lol i have no idea what i’m saying, i can only say it sounds great, ok or bad, that’s the extent of my language
@Max23 , this is being blended with other mics in the mix, but it would certainly work to use this as the only mic with time spent positioning everyone correctly.
Probably “in the middle of it” is a bad description, it’s more that they just sound very natural. When I closed my eyes while I was working on the track, they sounded very “real” to me, in terms of their positioning and having depth that you don’t necessarily get from another type of stereo recording.
Here’s a picture of “Larry,” with two neat microphones worker bees set up in an ortf configuration. It’s the first time I tried the head for real on a recording so the ortf was intended to be the main stereo pair for the string quartet and the head was there to see how it worked and if it would be useful.
I’ve been looking at those neat mic for months and comparing with others. How do you like them? They seem pretty posh and capable.
They are fantastic. I have 2 worker bees and one king bee, both models are excellent. I think the king bees are out of stock now, but the worker bees are still available last I checked. They have a very flat upper mid, which I like, and a natural, unhyped high end.
