Hi Michael! Thank you again for watching and we start filming this video on Tuesday. About the adapter, check out the DAD6034 but tha only works for one microphone so you would need an adapter that somehow has two inputs and one output for the recorder. I'm not sure if that is around but check out the MMA-A Digital Audio Interface (MMA-A) which could be connected to a mobile phone.

The quality is so good that I can close my eyes and picture myself actually being there in Seoul. I bought the Roland CS-10-EM based on one of your other videos and have made some interesting recordings of Birdsongs and motorway traffic, I am looking to make some binaural recordings of tube train journeys next time I am in London...... thanks for all the inspiration and for helping me choose gear that meets my budget and needs 🙂

@Metamerist625 2 жыл бұрын

@@FreeToUseSounds Yeah, I think there is a lot of mileage to the idea and you guys would be the right people to explore it further. An idea for you: The thing that interests me most about the binaural recording is capturing the transition from one sound space to another...... that was why I had the idea to record in the London underground because there are very interesting transitions from the sounds on the street to the platforms and then the train journey itself (obviously any underground train system has potential, I am just using London for example). Personally I want to do something that takes the listener on a short journey with just sound. No doubt that concept could be applied to lots of places in the world though. For instance walking from inside the printing factory you guys visted to (say) the street outside. Perhaps this is difficult to get right though. I am still learning about levels etc and moving from one place to another but choosing settings that work for both locations may take some thought and planning...... maybe it can be recorded in one take, maybe multiple takes are needed that can be blended later... (?) I am still watching videos and getting advice. As the professionals though maybe you guys can pull it off? :-D Anyway, I will be interested to hear what you guys do as maybe you have even more ideas! 🙂

Hi, pardon my english, I'm french :) Can you please tell us what settings you do on your Zoom F6 to have a binaural result ? Do you set a stereo track from your two mics inputs or do you do another setting and get the binaural result later on reaper or other ? Because for me setting the Pan after on Reaper is really not giving the binaural result of the scene i thought i was recording. Last question : do you have height stereo also with this (meaning you can hear if someone is above or below your head in addition of the left and right position and distance that you have with "stereo but non binaural" mics ? Thank you so much in advance because i really dont know how to set my two 6060 mics in my ears with my Zoom F6 to have a binaural result... and I guess I'm not the only one :)

I've been researching microphones a lot lately and DPA are becoming the most desired brand for me. Really really good quality and even though they seem to be most well known for their lavalier microphones all of their shotgun/condenser mics are world class also. These binaurals look interesting but I would be concerned about picking up breathing noises especially for me since I sound like a water buffalo on a treadmill when I pretty much just stand still.

Incredible sound, zero handling noise. thanks for making this. One thing I did not think about is that camera placement affects how the audio should be played. For example, at 9:10, the white van passed from left to right for the viewer, but the audio played from right to left. Would need to flip the tracks depending on how you want the viewer to perceive the sound. What post-editing / adjustments were done for the recordings in this video?

@FreeToUseSounds 4 ай бұрын

Oh let me re-listen because I thought we flipped the audio. This is a very easy process. Audition has an option to flip the audio but you can also manually cut out the tracks and create a new track and flip the audio. Other adjustments? Hmm I always try to keep the recordings as they are and don't do any adjustments besides normalizing in some situations.

It's really great how the dpa is doing. It's also interesting that you face the main action. In my experience, and what the science says, you can't tell the difference between the front and the back in terms of hearing perspective very well. So especially if you don't have a visual reference. Does it perhaps make more sense, also because of your sound library, to turn sideways or at least somewhat obliquely to the main action? Maybe the Ambeo VR has the advantage, insofar as you can choose afterwards in which angle you stand to the heard. At the same time, I don't think it's as good at close range as a binaural mic. Maybe that would be worth a comparison? Looking forward very much to your mic comparison test!

Brilliant, well done 👍 at my Hi-Reality Sensorium KZfaq channel everything is recorded in Binaural audio. So happy you are demoing these DPAs and will review (I wish I had them but they are pricey).

The DPA 4060 have a higher noise floor so I would have to lower the gain a lot to stay away from unwanted noise.

Hi, I'm just entering the world of field recording and found your channel and this great video. I would love to have your opinion about mics to connect to the H6. I try to decide between Neewer 410, Samson c02 and Rode m5-mp. My goal is to record nature and city sound, do I need the Rode or can I have a good result with the cheaper ones? Thank you ever so much

@FreeToUseSounds 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Yuval, we personal never used any of these microphones so we can't give you an opinion about them. When using these microphones also think about spacing, polar patterns, what XLR cables and length and most important, what kind of wind protection is available for two microphones.

I have Said it befors and say it again - I would love you to record with these at the hairdresser. I heard a recording with binaurals like 20 years ago at swedish public radio and it was amazing. I had the recording for like 10 years and then I LO-styrelsen it. On that recording they were at the hairdresser and it was just amazing. The first time I heard it I remember turning around because it was so realistic. So please do a hairdresser recording with you Marcel getting tour hair cut. In this video I like the water at the end the most. 👍🏻

Yeah 4560 is really great headset. I got it as soon as they released. And then got a DPA MMA, which can connect 4560 with iPhone. Perfect sneaky recorder and pro quality setup. The only weakness is the USB cable of MMA has to be unique model from DPA. All the other USB cable doesn't work.

@@FreeToUseSounds thanks! Was thinking about connect dpa 4560->f3->wireless pro but thought if I can connect directly dpa 4560->wireless pro it would be convenient operationally. I read online that the voltage on wireless pro (3.7v) is lower than the needed voltage on dpa 4560 (5v) therefore having to ask a pro like you. Thanks for the advice.

@FreeToUseSounds Ай бұрын

@@justinqian990 Happy to help! One idea is to look for a transmitter that allows microdot connections and provides 48v phantom power. I think Sennheiser has something like that. Then, you could plug the transmitter into an F3. I'll do some research, but you might need two transmitters, which could increase the cost significantly. Also, consider whether carrying two transmitters vs just carrying one F3.

May I kindly ask if you could double check the audio orientation of your headphones? The sound of the motorbike serves as a helpful indicator as it comes from the right and left on the left side. Edit: To clarify, the people chatting were indeed recorded on the right side, but we didn't flip the audio to picture since it's the same recording. I apologize for any confusion.
