  1. Big whoop. Binaural without earphones is just stereo. Put the unearned hype back in the can.

    1. Yeah agreed, binaural is not "just stereo". and headphones make anything sound wider, binaural sounds superwide even in speakers. I really love this dude's programming!

  2. Binaural is not just stereo, Binaural is two completely different synth engines playing in each monitor. so you can add subtle differences to the left and right engines tuning, envelopes, lfo etc to create a wider and far more interesting sound. Doesn't work for every patch especially leads and basses, but for Pads, Strings, arps etc, it drastically spreads the sound more than the same synth engine panning each voice. :)

  3. I mean stereo as in sitting in a theater listening to a band on the stage. Some instruments are on the left, some are on the right. In the old days of stereo in headphones the drums would be in the middle and the guitar on the left and the bass on the right and the keyboards maybe to one side and it would just sound weird. Does binaural make music more musical? Or just more gimmicky? If it sounds good it is good. If it sounds crap, it is crap.

  4. Yeah, I completely hear what you are saying, but binaural is literally the same effect as recording two takes of the same instrument with slight variations to add interest, then panning one take hard left and the other hard right. This effect was only ever achievable during a recording session, but with "true binaural" synths, it is available in live scenarios without the need for two synths. each to their own I guess, but double tracking has been around for a long time and for good reason. Binaural is like double tracking live ;)
