@@Rkfilm2023 I have a black one available somewhere in the new workshop. Would you like me to find it for you, and list it on our www.Sr3D.co.uk website?

I’m just the videographer and sound recordist showing off my mics (the SR3D brand), Mark has been playing for a while but I’m not sure where he studies.

You got it. 100%

@@sr3d-microphones interesting explanation, i think it makes sense. would there be some utility in comparing waveforms of binaural audio and stereo mics exposed to the same sound source? not sure how easy it would be to analyse however

@@retiredblacksmith7983 I think you just need a recording of one of the binaural mics, say the left ear, and a standard microphone of the same sound, and cancel out the differences, this would leave the binaural information for all to see, though I'm not sure what type of audio software could do the differences between them, but I'm sure there's something out there that can do this already. If you did this for top, bottom back and front, you'd end up with the differences of colouration of tones, that if you were to add to a sound, I think this would give the illusion that the sound was at the point of reference that the colouration tones were. If you had a mega multi-track audio setting, in a game for example, then you could have mono sound samples, over multiple channels with added colouration filters and a stereo field added by the filter so that the same sound over many channels would give you the impression you were at the beach if there were loads of seagulls flying over head, with waves in the distance, perhaps, there must be thousands of other example you could use of course.

ha no! I made the audio recordings with my SR3D binaural microphones that I manufacture, if you feel like having a gander on my videos you'll see that Mark played the organ here, with several of mi=y mics around the church, as its binaural if you wear headphones it should put you were the mic was, as if you were there. Don't have the volume high as it will spoil the illusion otherwise.

I can't see the point in making any comparisons just yet. I need some software that can separate the binaural cues from the audio, so I would need a reference mic, and a binaural mic and cancel out the differences to leave only the binaural cues, once I can see (hear) them, I would probably have a better idea of the colouration notches and tones for up, down, front, and back, plugins for binaural in DAW's are probably well aware of these tones and that's why they have binaural plugin in the first place, but no one (probably for obvious reasons) are talking about them to keep everyone in the dark and lost with misinformation that everyone seems to be using as their bible on what binaural audio is... meh! The image was actual from ChatGPT, as I asked it if it could show an image depicting what it would look like as a colour wheel, so I was surprised that it did it, and at the awesome image it produced for its first creative image, I'm going to delve a little deeper, as ChatGPT got some of the info wrong - regarding frequencies, as it should have been directions, but it's a great start. Nice to hear from you again!

No idea what that means, sry.

If you get me a 3Dio I’ll ask Lawrie to do a comparison- the winner is already known by me though 🎉

Are you one of the people that pronounce it incorrectly? (looking at your spelling) If in doubt, try going to google translate, and simply write “binaural” in the field and click the speaker button for a correct pronunciation, and maybe I'll do a quick hello in my next video 😎

@@sr3d-microphones hehehehe I pronounce it as bye-naural I see I spelled neural I gotta admit I probably did mis pronounce it as the word neural like the nerve, Instead of naural like nautical. I apologise XD, English isn't my first language. Funnily enough in my search history I do tend to write it correctly guess not when trying to do it phonetically. Now I do need the “Hello!”, thanks for responding.

@@jannathepanna1674 you’d be quite surprised that even native British have trouble with that particular word, ha! I’ll be sure to sneak in a ‘hello’ in future uploads 👂👂

@@sr3d-microphones damn haha I feel like a native already!! Im going to pay attention

4 capsuled mic? From your pre-edited comment: you probably have twigged on now that the mic is only a two capsuled mic, so it's stereo, with an ear over each capsule that infuses binaural information to the recorded sound, giving us external perceptions of where the sound is coming from, when the volume is set correctly on playback. I think this version of the new mic sounds pretty epic! Thank you for leaving a comment.

@@user-gx3mp4fy5k I would advise not to do the modification as you would loose the stereo effect due to non unidirectional capsules, simply plugging in EM272 stereo pair as an external microphone would be the very best thing to do here.

@@sr3d-microphones But if it's a pair of single-pointing mics such as the EM164 it will restore the soundstage, right? Also, do I need to dismantle the whole unit to replace the original mic?

@@user-gx3mp4fy5k Yes, they should do it as they are cardioid, and you would have to dismantle the unit, it's quite simple, but be aware of small plastic parts. I wouldn't know if this would be advantageous to do, to be honest. I think I uploaded me dismantling it in another zoom H1E video on my channel somewhere.

@@sr3d-microphones Thanks for the reply.It's been very helpful.

Hi, thank you for your detailed comment. I can agree with you on many levels, binaural is very much down to the shape of the pinna recording equipment and your own pinna, if the shape is off set by too much, it just causes confusion of perception. I also recorded last year's typhoon at Southport with the original mic that has been made since 2013 when I first realised hot to create "analogue" binaural, the new stuff on iPhone I've heard of, but not actually tried it yet, and hands down for the audio on the iPhone 15, which is actually very good, the batteries died on the Zoom F3, so was quite disappointed as they only lasted n hour or so, but shows off it's capability very well in the Red Arrows section, and, as being an obsessed photographer back in the 90's myself, I too thought that a few shots were actually pretty good too, and indeed the texture of the cloud formation sure helped give a sense of movement where I also tried not to always be zoomed in, but to try and show the sense of distance to help bring the binaural aspect into its own, the iPhone sure handled the videography admirably, the hand sake and little movements have been completely eliminated by the phone it'self, no processing of the video apart from fades and cuts were made, the audio side was a direct file transfer from the recorder, and was selected for output as IEEE float, at 32 bit, I have no idea what RUclips does to the audio when it is processed by them, the software was davinci resolve, which I think is a fantastic free software. I am very excited about the results from the new circuits inside the microphone and hope that any comments reflect this, as yours did. I am obsessed with binaural, as I was in the 90's with photography, I had my own darkroom and 3 enlargers and many different format cameras, from 1/4 plate, to 35mm, and I have processed the negatives and prints in both colour and black and white, then in 1995, got given a computer by a very close friend at the time which got me into computing, where the obsession in that took over until RUclips came about, and I eventually found the magic of audio, and the different modes it has, mono, stereo and binaural for the analogue types, am not looking at the digital aspects of it, but understand that maybe one day, I may find someone who can place my ideas for the formulation of algorithms that possibly could add binaural information to mono sound sources.

The dummy head and other mics is the reason for the video, it’s more an audio thing than a video thing. The dummy head is a microphone as are the tube mics, and are specialised in collecting sounds in exactly how we hear things, so you should have been wearing headphones to tele-transport your ears to the church and would experience what it actually sounds like in there, if you close your eyes it maybe more convincing- it’s called binaural audio and is very special sound that makes things sound like they are external to ourselves as in real life.

Organs have multiple keyboards (manuals) because different sounds are needed at the same time when playing. There are quick ways to change stops, but more flexibility is needed than that. Each manual typically has different pipes associated with it. You can couple one keyboard to another usually. If I coupled Swell to Great, the swell pipes would play when I play the Great, but not vice versa. Basically each keyboard has different pipes and different sounds. Volume level was also a concern. Remember organs were made before modern electronics. It was not always possible to change the loudness of each pipe. Some were put in a box where doors could be opened and closed to adjust loudness level. If you pull out all the stops, the organs can get quite loud. Also, if you remember that organs don't have sustain pedals, you can see the pedals (not the keyboard for the feet but the ones just above thoae) would be used for other things. One pedal is often the crescendo pedal that automatically adds specific sounds or pipes as you change the position of the pedal. Another possible pedal use would be to open and close the swell box that makes some pipes louder and softer. So basically, you have several manuals used for different pipes or sounds. They can usually be coupled together in some ways, depending on the organ. You have the keyboard for the feet which also has its own pipes, and usually can have the swell or Great manual coupled to it. Then just above the keyboard pedals for the feet, you often have 2 or 3 pedals that look sort of like a sustain pedal but actually are the crescendo pedal or volume in some organs. The stops you pull out are different pipe sounds. The number written is the pipe length. The buttons in between the manuals are memory presets. You can make certain combinations of pipes active, then set those to memory. Often, there are also foot memory buttons too.

Only by swapping the Primo EM272 for a more sensitive microphone on the external input, as omnidirectional would be a waste of time on the unit itself. I have found a more sensitive capsule and I am still experimenting with that, but it is ‘louder’ (more gain) than the primo or zoom originals.

Yes, plenty of noise, I’m sure you spotted the note on the video explaining what it was unless you skipped through it. Compression artefacts sound very much different to the hiss of escaping air, but it even got me when I first got back to the workshop as I though it was some kind of noise with the equipment too, but it’s just air escaping from the old leather seals. The church does have a fund for raising monies to repair it, it is a very expensive project.

I think it's very good, the quality is just as good if not better than the ender3's I have, the enders have been put away due to them only lasting just over a year, and I just replaced both filament feeders due to wear, but because of the 5M performs so well, I will not use the old printers again, it would take just over 6 hours to print off my main object, but only about 2 hours for the new printer. I am thinking about getting the pro version as a second printer

I got this printer and multiple others. I like mine as much as I do my custom vzbot build and it cost 4x as much to build. It's miles ahead of the modded ender 3 pro I replaced.

I’m sure if you put your mind to it you would realise how the air is feed to the pipes. And what makes the sound terrible?

Sure, don't forget to wear headphones :O)

Have you thought of investing one of your own SR3D microphones? They are very simple to use and you could take it to other steam events
