Even without IR, that piano sounds so gorgeous. Especially hearing it binaurally from the players position. I wish all piano recordings could make me feel like I’m in the seat like that.

Came for the ir, stayed for the amazing music ...

Already excited to see this :)

Wonderful sound as usual! I'm a big fan of reverb to dampen the dryness. Your playing is so wonderful, and I just can't say enough about your microphone. In fact, you scared the hell out of me at the end as I thought it was over. then you spoke and I actually looked over my right shoulder. Amazing!!

Very cool Matthew, love how you captured the unique reverb from the basement and applied it to anything you want. Very hypnotic. Saw your show in Whitehorse a few months ago, greetings from Dawson :)

Matthew Lien Hi binaural brother, you've made a very good job indeed, it sounds excellent on loudspeakers also! Go ahead with KU 100's magic!! Hugs from Italy :)

Well done.

that was awesome!! so cool... thank you for sharing!

Holy smokes 🤯 my ears 👂🏻 were mind blown My ears are legit tingling.

🙏 Sweet - good job Matthew... 👏👏

This is awesome, thanks! I wanted to know what it was like to record IRs with binaural mics, and this video answered my question and more.

Wow that piano with the reverb was gorgeous.

amazing work. I am working on 3d implementation for 3d VR and this helped so much. i am going to try and capture my own binaural impulses. thanks and keep up the great work

This sounds so awesom many people underestimate the power of binaural recordings. I am literally hearing the same you heard through your headphones cause I wear the same atm. Thanks for sharing. Subed.

Convincing. Bravo.

This... this is brilliant

Thanks, Daniel! More recordings derived from the results of all these sessions are coming soon.

I must say that I'm quite impressed. I am looking at recording in binaural as well. This was fantastic!

Listen carefully, the conventional near-field microphoned version of the piano is actually more realistic sounding than the version with binaurally microphoned room reverberation added to the near-field microphoned track. The reason for this is that the reverb component is much higher than what would be normally heard in most listening environments. Reduce it by about 6db and you will confirm that the overall near-field to far-field balance will be more realistic. Having said that, the near-field microphoned version sounds remarkably good, I assume by virtue of careful mic placements.

amazing and beautiful

posted this in my sound room on Facebook. if you get a chance, try out some impulse recording in some large long pipes at a closed factory. it's some amazing math acoustical math going on.

This piano recording sounds amazing. What a pleasure. I guess turing back can not be a best idea, you can grab more from your room and limit the fr in some freq. But test and see how this sounds.

very interesting!

Hi Bro! This is great! If i understand well, this is a new generation for PAN recording/mastering? Is it? I think this technonology should interest other producers or E-instrument companies such as NI. Ho, and i forgot about movie industry too!

Love your music. What song is this? couldn’t find it on the other channel. Thank you

Great job and demonstration of the process! One question though - is this result of editing or something technical or was the sweep really divided in two parts @ 03:02 - 03:03? Why not a continuous one from low end to high? Thanks!

omg, thats why, hahah.... i'm sitting here in the living room at night and my kids are sleeping in the room nearby. I always took my headphones off to check if they are screaming unless YOU told me that ur kid is bathing XD

sounds pretty close but it has some frequencies that sound a bit louder than they should I guess u can adjust that by EQing the reverb IR

From 4:50 to 5:10 did you have binaural mic + impulse response or just binaural microphone? Because the 3d effect was amazing. Thought you were sitting next to me.

Some years ago I had same idea but don't has resources. My idea was a bit different (and in my opinion more interesting). Don't know if you know holophinics, it is some steps forward than binaural, you can search on youtube for holophinic Barber Shop to have an example, it is a technology designed by a crazy South American guy on 70 or 80s and it was used to record a Pink Floyd disk... Well his history is another theme. I wanted to record an Impulse with this holophinic microphone on a control room recording studio and some clubs, cinema, etc. And use these impulses to simulate room acoustics for mixing/post production porpoises when using headphones. It is very important to know how will sound the song you are mixing in different environments. And have the opportunity to listen as if you are in a club/cinema/studio but being in your home it is an incredible thing! So maybe you can do it, I think no company offers that Greetings!

this is so cool! i have a question - can IRs that were recorded binaurally be applied to music that was not recorded binaurally?

This is awesome. Could this work real-time in games, or is it too hardware demanding?

Hi, one important question: does the IR softare that you used to capture the reverb support the binaural microphone and stereo imaging? does it support stereo mics? could you tell what software did you use? before this video I was familiar with ir recording with just one mic. I have used IR for many years but this is totally new! thanks a lot

Hi! Wouldn't shoulder/torso reflections account for some influence on the impulse response recorded at the ear mics thus improving the captured response?

What does the impulse response sound like on the stereo pair dpa mics? And what does the stereo reverb sound like on the binaural mic signal?

What about creating a plugin that can be used by sound engineers through their favorites Audio Software?

That piano sounds gorgeous using that impulse response, even on the monitors.
