PugetSounds 20210418 by J. published on 2021-04-19T00:28:02Z Sunday morning at the Heron Isl. ferry dock. This binaural recording was made using a 3Dio microphone to capture a compellingly realistic sense of location. Catch is, you can only hear the effect through ear buds or headphones. Played through speakers, the result is pleasant but not nearly as immersive as the headphone experience. Another thing: This is a natural dynamics recording. The soundscape of a pre-dawn beach is generally rather quiet, occasionally punctuated with louder sounds. Nature tends to be quieter and more nuanced than TV, radio, and the usual sounds of human life. Go ahead, crank it up to a pleasant level; it won't bite.
