Wauw, really enjoyed that! I'm a landscape photographer (the reason why I follow this channel about field recording) but am very intrigued by street photography. Already noticed that Libby is very talented as a videographer but in this video we all noticed her photographic eye. So yeah, much more of these kind of videos please!
Hi, this is probably my first ever comment on TH-cam. A bit like Libby mentioned in one of your other videos, I watch a ton of TH-cam videos but never comment or engage. However, your channel has inspired me to pay more attention to sounds around me and to explore field recording, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for ten years, but never really started. So I thought I would come and say “hi”, and also share an idea. I think this video is great, a very new approach with a lot of potential. The part I liked the most was the vent near the tracks at around 2:20. What I loved about this is that we first heard the sound coming in, then you turned around and took a photo of the sound source. Some of the other pictures were beautiful, but here you created a direct connection between sound and image. Perhaps that’s something you can explore in one of your next videos, a street photography tour entirely dedicated to capturing the images of sound sources. Just an idea :) Keep up the good work, and I wish you all the best for your channel.
Hi Andrea and thank you so much for taking the time and making this wonderful comment and sharing your idea. The crazy thing is that we're actually working on exactly this. :)
This was great fun to watch, love the binaural recording and love the street photography. Libby clearly has a keen eye, those shots in the parking lotwere really creative. :-)
I like this type of video! I enjoyed the perspective to see a little into your thought process of what looks interesting, and noticing when you pulled up the camera then put it down without making a photo. I enjoy a narrated photo walk, too, where you're discussing what you're seeing, what the considerations are, etc., but I also understand how that could conflict with the audio immersion, which is likely more your focus.
I definitely vote for more videos like this as walking tours are always a great way to see an area. Also I enjoyed the photo taking process as the discovery of a cool angle or perspective is always the most satisfying part of taking photos for me. The parking garage probably seemed the most boring to a lot of people but I was constantly excited about the photo opportunities that kept popping up.
Thank you! A parking lot is awesome. From a sound perspective sometimes I run into the craziest sounding air systems. It’s a cool place :). We hope to be back in Hong Kong someday soon. That’s the place to be for street photography.
As soon as I put on the headphones, it felt like i was present for a wonderful morning walk! it's nice for me to be virtually walking with your (especially since i have been in bed for the past month.) thank you for taking me along!
Great Video! Question:#1 Do the binaural audio go straight the video? #2 How to connect zoom H1n to the camera when Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphones plus in Zoom H1n both line in and line out? Thank you!
Amazing Binaural experience 👌 First of all, I have to thank you because I learnt a lot about binaural sounds from your channel and I purchased Soundman OKM II for my Street POV Vlogs. It turned out to be a great viewing experience. Keep making more such videos.
@@FreeToUseSounds Oh, that's sad. Yet to reach there 😅 I tried looking for Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphones in India but it is discontinued. Amazon isn't doing International shipping currently. By any chance is there a way to import it to India? I find it little hard to monitor the sound while I'm recording and shooting my POV Street Photography.
@@NavaBharatSelva Hmm I’m not sure yet and since it’s discontinued you probably won’t get it. If you know somebody who lives outside India, maybe they can shop and ship?
Thanks so much Michael! Its always great to hear from you and that you like what we put together. I just did my first "alone" test vlog and Libby is editing right now. I think the biggest issue is the internet connection. Another TH-camr did the camino and had trouble uploading one video at a time. I'm shooting at least 30GB a day so it could be a challenge but I do daily IG stories too. :)
A little late for this but I think this is great and would like to see more. The combo of the GoPro, Fuji, and Binaural is very creative and offers a lot, both for you guys in doing and us in listening. Just a note. I find that using the SNP mount system is nicer than using the chesty. This does bring up and interesting aspect that pertains to a lot of the material that you have posted and that is how you combine all of this into a seamless flow. I could not find that you have done a behind the scenes on this. Sorry if I missed it, but it would be interesting.
This was fun, thank you--- love that camera!!! the sound was great, Just got those same headphones and the windjammers--- great suggestion! great eye Libby!!!!! you know what to look for!!!!
Total immersion! Thank you for sharing this new type of video. I’m curious if binaural microphones like these, would pick up heavier breathing when one gets a bit winded on a hike 🌬
I tried it with a coupler but it won’t work. I think you need an adapter that converts the phantom power down to 2V. There isn’t a mic 3,5 jack on the F6.
From the Roland website, it says the operating voltage for the earphone is 2-10V. And the VXLR+ converts phantom power down to 3-5V. In theory it should work right?
@@MetawolfTV Now you run into one problem by using one of the VXLR adapters. You would record only into one track which converts the binaural stereo into a mono track. Hmm I know Soundman has an adapter. If you have a solution please let me know because I tried it the other day with a coupler and the 3,5 male to 2 3 pin XLR L+R. The cable I used for the Priezor VS Ether cable. Let me know if you got it to work
Amazing video guys! Really enjoy your stuff! I'm new to binaural recording but want to get me some microphones. Can you tell me how the Roland and Soundman OKM compare? Which one would you get? Thanks guys and keep it up!
Really enjoyed this! Really nice shots, Libby! You have a good eye for composition - the view screen looked pretty boring, but your shots looked fantastic! If you have a chance, Capitol Hill is an interesting and colorful area, if you have a chance to walk around there (Met my wife there 26 years ago). Enjoy the Camino! I hope that you have your trekking poles handy. I hear that they come in handy for the occasional stray dog!
@@FreeToUseSounds Sounds about right. The closer one gets to Colfax, the crazier it seems. I wish you safe travels! Looking forward to the Camino. I have questions, but I will be patient!
Very cool, it really did feel like I was there. Especially noticeable when at the end you switched to the other camera audio and then realize how unusable it is.
Wow that's awesome. I am always confused on which microphones need phantom power. Do these or will they work with the H1n. I also have the H6 but have only used it a few times. I have lots to learn! But you have inspired me!
@@gregwilsonnaturephotography Oh yes it works with the H1n and also the XY 3.5 input on the H6 capsule. They provide the correct PP. Now I just tried to figure out if it also works with the X8 but it seems like it doesn't :(
Ohh wow! You make me want to buy one! haha. Just wondering do you always need to put the microphone in your ear to record? or you can just put the pair near each other and place/mount it on your stand/gimbal for example..
Hello. I love tour videos please keep going ;-) I just bought two omnidorectionnal lavalier microphones to try binaural recording. I don't have a binaural head so how would you recommand to place the microphones for the best result. Also i have the zoom f6, what is the best setting? Thanks in advance if you have time to answer. Nice day to both of you
I do have time to answer so you should create something that fits the omnis close to your ear or inside. I have never done anything like that but check out DPA's binaural headset. That gives you an idea. About the setting just have it on 32 bit. You can choose if you want to record 96 or 192 kHz.
Question on recorder for binaural recording, with this mic setup, would the Zoom f1 or the Zoom Digital Multitrack recorder (with float 32) be a good option? The H1n is a great start, but if a person has the option to move into a different recorder, which one would suit this style of recording? Thanks again, very good stuff here.
Hi Cory, I had the F1 and yes you can use this device but its very noisy and I never liked the fact how to do gain staging. You can't use it with the F6 directly. You would need adapters and something to get the phantom power down to 3 to 5 volt. The Zoom H1n is perfect. One day, this is going to be a 32 bit float unit. If the Zoom F3 had a 3.5 mic in jack, that would have been perfect.
@@FreeToUseSounds I also have a Zoom H2n laying around, that seems like the same setup as the H1n as far as inputs go, yes? Line in and Line out so the binaural mic would work the same? Is the preamp in the H2n as good as the H1n?
@@CoryShubert Hi Cory, the only H2n unit I had came broken out of the box. I never used this one but it should work. The H2n is different then the H1n with different capsules and mic positions.
Nice. I always like walk alongs. Lets us see somewhere different and hear the sounds. By the way, I see you used to use the Audio Technica MX50's but now use the MX30's. I need to buy some new headphones and definitely going for one of the AT models. I guess you prefer the 30's for field recording ? Why did you change from the 50's which are supposed to be better and also neutral ?
I never had the 50s. I had the Sony MDR 7056. Is that what you mean? Also bought the in ear AT headphones for the Camino. I’m done wearing over ear headphones outdoor. I only use them until I have the other pair. They are waiting for me in Saint Jean.
@@FreeToUseSounds Oh OK. I was sure I saw the MX50's mentioned in older video descriptions. Obviously I made a mistake. Sorry. Anyway, I'll go for the 50's for home use and field recording, and also look at the AT in-ear. Thanks.
Хаха, классно! Звук хороший, прямо наслаждаешься. Видео немножко длинное, но в целом всё ок. Женщина на 9:11 даже не подозревала насколько удачно она уронила эту бутылку в нужном месте в нужное время :) Кстати хотелось бы узнать что ты думаешь по поводу нового Zoom F2 в комбинации с подобными микрофонами...
I bought a Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphone. As you have showed in your last video. It's not good. The right mic is at least 3-5 dB less sensitive that the left one. Not good. And it's way too expensive for what it is. The cables are rubbery - not good. I want slippery cables that are strong and not as flimsy as the Roland ones. I will return it to Amazon tomorrow. I'll get something from micbooster and make my own.
Which ones will you get instead, Dr Nick? From the youtube videos I saw , the CS10EM are not what I expected. The sound is damped and not clear enough (rivers, ocean).

You’ll be pleased to know binural sound and video was used in the early 90s
This was an interesting way to experience photography! The binaural approach made it feel more immersive, especially with the train bells going off.
Thanks Aaron! We're so glad you liked it!
That's a very nice way of virtual touring! A quite soothing experience ... :-)
Glad you enjoyed it Harald. We definitely make more videos like this in the future.
