I know people can wear two video cameras to recreate a first person experience in virtual reality. I also know they make those mannequin head stereo mic sets that create interesting spacial audio, supposedly because they mimic the head’s shape and position of our ears.
Instead of the dummy head, does anyone make a mic set that you can wear, with the mics in approximately the position of our ears / ear shaped?
I was thinking you could do some interesting things with that, like recording a band in their practice space from the perspective of the band members. Or tracking lead vocals where the singer is singing to a person wearing the mic set.
Absolutely. You can wear binaural mics next to your ears to get a really accurate recording of how the space around you sounds. I have a friend who would bootleg shows in the 90’s and he’d wear them hanging from his glasses next to his ears and record on minidisc. The recordings sounded like you were right there. I even turned around to look for somebody I heard say “hey!” In the recording, thinking they were there in real life.
