Bo Rhap & Bites The Dust in 3D audio

A guy called audipatz, uploaded in Tumblr: Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, Heroes and a lot more songs in 3D audio.
What do you think of this?

Also can you help me? I can only hear the echo of the left channel in the right channel, and the normal right channel, but no 3D audio feeling.

Sounds like all they've done is put the full track on both the left and right, and put some awful delay on one of them. Dunno how this is meant to be 3D. Headache inducing stuff haha, feels like my head's throbbing when the sound pulsates so quickly from left to right.

3D audio????

Stupid. This Audipatz dude's just trolling for view counts. Avoid this.

sounds like a really cheapo [b][i]QSound[/i][/b] ripoff.
[i][b]QSound[/b][/i] didn't catch on for obvious reasons - so someone copying it is
a] nothing new, and
b] even less likely to catch on

most of the artists that used QSound - used it for only ONE album; floyd, madonna, julian lennon, sting etc
Proof alone that it isn't really a viable listening experience

These songs are available in 5.1 surround which is as '3D' as it gets.

You want real 3d audio? Get a binaural recording. You have two ears, not 5.1, and two channels is all you need for realistic 3d sound, provided you record it in the right way. Listen to Lou Reed's "Street Hassle" or "The Bells" albums with headphones. There's nothing quite like it.

Not quite true though, as you still hear sounds above, beneath, in front, and behind you in the real world; not just directly to your left, and right.

Here you have a Queen 3D audio clip.

Background story: You are Reinhold Mack and Queen is about to record a new take for 'Play the Game'. Reinhold comes back in the studio and put the tape to record. There are actually two Freddies, one singing and other playing the piano.

This is really a 3D experience!

And that's exactly what you can do with binaural recording. Just think logically about it - you have two ears. That means only two inputs for audio. All 3d sounds you hear in the real world enter your brain by these two channels. That means you only need two channels of output to create 3d audio, provided you use headphones and properly recorded (binaural) audio. Look it up, you'll like it.

Matt, that was absolutely awesome !! :-)

I'm uncomfortable with the term '3d audio', its mental manipulation if anything. I still maintain surround sound is as 3d as it gets, yes we have 2 audio inputs but they are pretty amazing things and can detect the direction that sounds come from as well as many other things. Why you so down on the lug holes man? ;-)

It's all psycho-acoustics in the end. After all, sounds are formed in the brain, it's just vibration to the ears the same way your eyes don't 'see' anything - they just relay vibrations to your brain to do the picture-making. Tricking your ears into hearing directionality that isn't there can be achieved in a number of ways. However, I have *never* heard any 5.1 surround mix that sounded so 'real-world 3d' as a good binaural recording on headphones.

Two ears are (obviously) enough to perceive surround sound, which means that two headphones could theoretically reproduce any surround sound.
The only problem is that it wouldn't sound the way it was intended, because no two listening enviroments or listeners are ever the same.

The acoustics of the space and the acoustics of your own head change the way you perceive sounds from different directions, and it would be impossible to calibrate a surround sound for more than one person at a time. Sometimes it's hard to perceive a direction of a sound "in the real life", because your brain is used to processing the sounds in a different environment.

The more speakers you have around a listener, the less environmental variables you have to account for when you're playing back a recording.

This also means that even though an artificial "3d sound" produced by a stereo recording might work for somebody, it would sound like garbage to most people.
