The reason for the loss of spatial hearing when using headphones is that they neutralize the acoustic influence that the shape of your body, your head, and your outer ears have on the sound you’re hearing.Īnother flattening effect is that headphones ignore the room acoustics. Audio geeks call this in-head localization. And you get the impression that all sounds are kind of strung on a string between your ears. But you lose the ability to distinguish between front and back, up and down. You can still have a feeling of sounds coming from the left and those coming from the right, and of sounds that are closer or more distant. “Everything changes when you put on your headphones: your natural ability for spatial hearing becomes seriously weakened. Here’s a good Web page with an introduction to the tech: (And on “Orbital,” the vocals are above you… how cool is that…) I absolutely love it, and every track is brilliant (“Smile” especially was an instant favorite that made me smile), but now listening to the new mix I feel like I am hearing the songs in a new way, with much more space and clarity in the mix. I’ve been listening to the album since my fellow Progarchy editor Carl turned me on to it. TESSERACT loves to bring what it does in the studio to the stage, but this time it’s experimenting with bringing a live element to the studio.” We immediately felt that this technology could be applicable to us in the studio. This is something that every artist that uses in ear monitors on stage wishes to recreate the real and accurate positioning of instruments. “The concept is to push past the restrictions of a stereo headphone mix and create an accurate ‘3D’ space in which positioning outside of the normal Left Right axis can occur. The occasion was my purchase of the deluxe 2CD edition of TesseracT’s new album Sonder, which comes with a second disc containing the binaural 3D mix for headphone or earbud listening. It is here, and it is called binaural sound.
