i use the first one, works great.
as for that matches mp3, sounded pretty nice. could follow the effect perfectly. now if only games were that accurate.
It is a Binaural recording, so you have to listen to it on headphones to "hear" the imaging.Originally posted by: EvilYoda
alright, all this talk and I'm confused...am I missing some links here? I want something to listen to dammit! I didn't spend all this money on speakers for nothing!

Oh, I thought there was some fancy MP3 out there...I've heard that binaural stuff already. <sigh>
Thanks though

Binaural recordings are certainly one step closer to being in the room with the band, so to speak. You can get nearly as good an effect by applying filters to each of the stereo channels to spatialize them. In fact, you can easily (well, sort of easily) do this yourself. Get the filters by googling for "MIT HRTF", write some code to convolve your stereo files with the filters, and there you go. You will also have to learn some DSP along the way.
MIT has a publicly available set of HRTFs (Head-related Transfer Functions) that are an approximation of the effect that the head has on a sound traveling toward the ears. You can simulate the left channel at a point 5 meters to the left of your head, for example, and the right channel 5 meters to your right.
What would be really cool (and useful) is to set up software to decode a Dolby Digital 5.1 stream, and spatialize each of the channels in the appropriate place so you could do realistic surround sound over headphones. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm sure that this already exists.
Anyway, cool recordings.

Thick As A Brick
Speaking of bricks...

Cheers!

Sharkeeper, what is your source and what encoding algorithm are you using?
There are about 40 minuets of "Thick As A Brick" missing. The song is 45 mins long.

LOL like I can really post a file that big!
Everyone should consider this a treat as I'm really not supposed to tell anyone about this, period.
As far as this goes, consider these ripped on an emachine with audio catalyst using Xing!
EDIT: Content removed.
Cheers!
Thank you so much for the files.
I hope I do not seem less than gratful.
I do understand that the 45 min version would be a bit much to host.
