He's commenting about ways to monophonically record live music that
are performed stereophonically.

Shows how vanishing small your knowledge of audio really is, Pseudo-Borg. Music is
performed in multichannel - a minimum of one channel per performer.


This doesn't have anything to me. Why are you telling me how music is
performed, tell him.


He support the idea that listening
binaurally from a single source during playback leads to musical
realism.

While most recordings present a soundstage with far more separation then the
corresponding live event, it is not uncommon for live events to have some audible
separation and clearly audible soundstaging of musical sources. With a stereo or
mulitchannel recordings it is possible to create audio signals with less, and
therefore more appropriate levels of separation.

Ok, but the article is really not discussing these types of "appropriateness" in
levels of separation.


However, with a mono signal you are pretty well stuck with absolutely zero separation
of sound sources.

Duh.

It is possible to take a mono signal and add some degree of natural spaciousness.
Basically, you play it through speakers in a room with a fair amount of hopefully
euphonic natural reverberation. Or, you something similar electronically. Then you
re-record it in some flavor of multichannel, perhaps even just stereo. Mix the
re-recorded sound with the origional to suit, and on a good day you might even fool
some listeners into believing that the soundstage-trashing mono step never happened.

Why don't you reread the article and find out how absurdly irrelevant these
early droppings from Michigan.


I suppose that he prefers to be transported back into the live
performance, but I don't see any pure strategy from the scheme
above.

Agreed.

Well, I guess we need more sample of ways to listen binaurally. Know of any?

Try headphones or earphones, mixing down from a multichannel master. I do it all the
time, and its really pretty nice.


I'm thinking that the author wants a point source that is not attach to the body.
