- You'll need headphones for this to work. Make sure there is no noise around, close your eyes, turn the volume up a little bit, hold and press headphone on your ears for better hearing, play it and enjoy this impressive audio work ( illusion ). Not a screamer not a prank!
Audio credit: The original audio is created by QSound Lab. I put it into this video and uploaded about 14 years ago to TH-cam. See www.qsound.com...

Facts💯💯
Yeah I’m curious to what microphone they used
@@AquaMelon they use a 360 mic where sound can be heard from one side to the other.
@@AquaMelon Its a microphone Technique called Binaural. This is when there is usually a dummy head with 2 small directional microphones inside the dummy ear canals. With the microphones emulating how the human ear would pick up this sound creating this cool effect for playback.
yup
If anyone is curious what the story behind this is. There is a now defunct company called QSound Labs that were pioneers in the 3d audio space back in the 90s. They made both hardware and software integrations of their tech which found it's way into arcade games and movies (Capcom was a customer of theirs).
They made this particular audio clip in 1996 for one of their customers, Starkey Labs. Starkey was using an implementation of the 3d tech to produce hearing aids that would allow the wearer to tell what direction sound was coming from. Previous hearing aids had one mic and one speaker per hearing aid, meaning that they just amplified whatever sound was coming in. You'd be able to tell left from right as the volume would be different in each ear, but you couldn't tell if a sound was coming from behind or in front of you. In human hearing we are able to tell front from back due to the shape of our ears. The cartilage that makes up the external part of your ear is obviously more prominent on the back side of your ear, this causes a muffling of sounds from behind that has a specific frequency signature, our brain interprets this as things behind us.
This recording was created as an ad of sorts for Starkey's new Cetera hearing aids that featured an algorithmic system that would add these frequency changes to allow the wearer to better pick up direction of the sounds they were haring.
They have this recording and more on their site www.qsound.com/demos/binaural-audio.htm

Not even the most popular ASMRtists have this quality
because white 3dio is overprised piece of ****. Worse sound quality that 10$ lav mic. I think you can equalize the sound when editing, but youtubers never do that.
@@mlsterlous what is a good asmr mic in your opinion? Just for curiosity
@@cauasousa8227 its really how you use the mic. A lot of TH-camrs have really expensive mics but they sound terrible because they record in a room with bad acoustics and noise. If you learn how your mic functions and understand how to get the sound you envision, that's the best mic. Differnet mics react to different sounds and environments.
@@tjl2836 I get it, I don't know anything about microphones so this information is very interesting. Does sound editing also count? Is there a way to edit or improve a "3D" sound like this?
@@cauasousa8227 Yes, editing the audio is very important to make the full potential of the mic. For example, you can equalize the audio (change the volume of specific frequencies) to emphasize different parts of the audio. In this case, you could increase lower mid frequencies to make the guitar louder or reduce treble to make the crinkly bag quieter. For more control when editing you would record each part of the audio separately with the same mic and "Mix" them together. Similar to how photos need to be edited to bring out all the possible contrast and detail and convey the right impression, audio needs to be edited. The audio that comes directly out of most mics is going to be uncolored and flat and is meant to be edited. In the unfortunate case where you have too much echo or noise, there are ways to reduce them but ideally you shouldn't rely on them. Noise reduction, whilst very impressive, can reduce clarity and give it a weird effect especially for 3D audio since the levels of clarity are different between the ears. To reduce reverb or echo, there's also no solid way to remove it. Some noise reduction algorithms can reduce reverb but as mentioned before they reduce quality. edit: the tech is improving though, especially with the advancements in AI processing

This is a technique called Binaural Audio. It's been a round a while but has become more popular with the rise of virtual reality. You basically use a fake head with a microphone in each ear and send each microphone input to the correct stereo output. It's a really fun method to play with and what's great about it is it doesn't require the listener to own specialist equipment.

Man, I really want a remastered version of this using modern audio encoding.
whats weird is all the ones that ARE with new equipment do not sound nearly as good.
There wouldn't really be a way to make it "sound better" nowadays, considering that the original is already mixed very well. What could be done nowadays that it is rendered with real-time headtracking (requires hardware). In this way you'd be able to turn freely turn your head while listening, which helps to further improve the spatial impression and increase immersion.
@@mars.1081 Actually a sound proof room would probably be worse for this, because it wouldn't capture the natural reverb of a room and it's ambience that makes you feel more present in it

This was actually never intended to be an ASMR/relaxing video.
This was an advertisement/audio test for a hearing aid company that was recorded in 1996.
The term ASMR was invented in 2010, 3 years after this video was even uploaded, and almost 2 decades after this audio was recorded. The plan was for Qsound to show off the new technology of their binaural audio algorithm named Cetera, however, after the company went out of business this audio was uploaded to youtube and gained popularity in the "proto-asmr" community due to the fact ASMR as a concept was beginning to be understood more.

@@Myrathosghost but this is 8d
Asmr was invented before this by a woman.
This video from 11 years ago is still better than a lot of the 360/ASMR stuff that's available now in 2018. Like I'm so interested in knowing how this was created.
It's a lot better than the ASMR stuff because most of the ASMR stuff is done super close to the microphone with very high gain. You dont get a sense of space when something is within 15 cm of your head whispering. Try listening to the thing the verge made with the 3Dio.
A lot of ASMRists don't travel around the mic even w/biaural mics. :/

Haha I found you again, I seriously see you everywhere :P
New House Production Studios i've been told
The audiobook of Stephen King’s horror novel _The Mist_ was recorded with actors basically doing an audio play of the book, not just someone reading it. It was recorded using Holophonics® technology, which, like Starkey®’s Cetera® technology used in this video, is (at least allegedly in the case of Holophonics, which may be a scam) a digital enhancement of binaural (which most ASMR videos use, basically using two microphones in mock-ups of human ears [in more expensive rigs, a mock-up of a full human head or even head-and-shoulders {not to be confused with anti-dandruff shampoo}] and placed where the eardrums would be, and which is a really old technology predating even stereo).
I’ve not listened to that audiobook myself, but I hear that it’s pretty amazing.
Several later-uploaded versions of this video have claimed in the title that it’s Holophonics, and this one claims that it’s Q-Sound in the text slide, but it’s neither. Starkey is a maker of hearing aids for the hearing impaired. In the past, hearing aids couldn’t replicate the natural sound location ability most people with good hearing in both ears have. There were attempts to address this by treating the hearing aids as binaural, but the presence of the hearing aid pickups in the ears tended to distort the results. Starkey invented a technology they named “Cetera,” which, as “Luigi” mentions towards the end of this video, digitally negates the effect of the presence of the pick-ups in the ear, and fully restores the audio differences allowing the brain to do its proper sound location detection.
This audio was created by Starkey to demonstrate the Cetera technology, and was done by directly recording the output of an actual pair of Starkey Cetera hearing aids worn by someone sitting in a barber-like chair in a room designed to acoustically resemble a real barber shop (for all I know, it may have been recorded in an actual barbershop), with actors portraying “Luigi” and “Manuel” walking around the person wearing the hearing aids, and saying their lines and doing their things.
The audio was copied by a number of websites before *LovelyVirus* put it to a text slide and uploaded it to TH-cam all those years ago. One of them was the Q-Sound website, from where *LovelyVirus* apparently got it, which is presumably why the text falsely says that the technology is Q-Sound Labs. Or maybe (I need to check into this) Q-Sound helped Starkey develop Cetera, and Cetera is actually a variation or specialized derivation of Q-Sound.
Holy shit
It’s 3am and when he whispered in my ear I flipped
Thank you once again Mr. Dankpods for showing me a wonderful listening experience.
ah yes
He's the reason why I'm here as well and am having my mind blown.

Yeeees
Eyo
I had my Focal headphones on and thought I closed YT. When I heard this start playing I literally jumped out of my chair.
focal is a good brand
Same, but I wasn't using Focals
Lol
Lol
which focals?
This audio is 17 years old and the quality is much better than new asmr videos 😮
28 years actually, this was recorded in 1996
(puts bag over head) *aLL tHe fANcY BArbEr sHopS dO tHaT*
Potato Dabber I think he wanted to suffocate me lol
lol
Even after 15 years, this is still one of the best demos for 3D audio
@Shrofe Pittly Even more impressive
MWll's audio is scuffed
yeah, it's a shame the Cetera algorithm didn't become ubiquitous, it's clearly phenomenal
Can you believe that the audio was created in 1996, that's crazy
@@keel88Damn, they were actually ahead of time😮😮
Just got my AirPods pro and testing them on this made me realize my $5 wired headphones from 20 years ago did the same job.
With AirPod Pros you could achieve a better experience since they would block out all sound arround you
It's because the audio is actually recorded very well. Any headphones can play left and right. So the directional sound will be exactly the same on any headphones. However I bet your airpods have much better sound clarity.
You won't notice much of it while listening to music on youtube due to massive compression it does. But with something like Spotify or Tidal, the music quality is like night and day. After getting my good quality earbuds, I can't even listen to the TH-cam stuff just because how much worse it sounds xD
Yeah but now you can drop and lose them so much easier!
@@-desertpackrat so true
but airpods need a charger
How tf does a TH-cam video from 2007 sound more realistic then ASMR TH-camrs with multi thousand dollar equipment
They aren't using the Cetera algorithm for post processing.
This make my brain feel so fuzzy I almost called my brain an eye
Even better, it was originally recorded in 1996
How the mics are set up mostly. I think the video uses two microphones that replicatws the space.
@@snowghoul3813 That's exactly how most ASMRtists work man. 3DIO Head, ZOOOM mics, all stereo.
if only this kind of quality surround sound was used in games...
BOBCAMO H.A.F. I do agree with you somewhat but I feel like this quality and intensity of surround may get distracting in a game. Or it may be totally immersive. I feel like it would be hit or miss and hard go get perfect.
People are alredy trying to use this in virtual Realiti. Excuse my englisch im German
Check out the Spatial Audio Game Engine for Doom 3 (If you have Doom 3, if not check out a walkthrough). It's for free on the New Audio Technology website and it does a really good job. This Game Engine simulates a 50.2 Surround Sound system and decodes it into 3D Headphone Surround Sound, wich you can easily perceive via every common headphones.
BOBCAMO H.A.F. It's better in video games
Used in fortnite
WHAT THE HELL I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS BREAKING IN MY HOUSE
FR
Cool
AHAHHA
XDDD
SAME I THOUGHT IT WAS MH DAD
I've seen literally TONS of ASMR videos but still nothing can compare to this one.
Jane Fabella tucker zone
Wow, so what's the conversion factor for megabits to tons?
I guess that has to do with that fact that this isn't strictly ASMR, this is just binaural audio, so it tells a story, sets up a scene, has layers (the guitar on the back, Luigi's voice and then the scissors up front), and doesn't rely on mindless whispers and senseless noises
@@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc I wa wondering the same, engineer here
Check out the Listening Point channel. They basically parody this with a bunch of characters
Do you think Manuel and Luigi have explored each others bodies?
You can tell because of the compliments Manuel had given Luigi
This is what introduced me to ASMR.
Even after so many years it sounds great. Strangely not even the most popular ASMRtists can bring about this quality.
I agree! This was most certainly done by very technically skilled professionals
The second best thing to this is the channel "rich asmr" the dude fucking does asmr on a tank, an rpg-7, and much much more
You're right, most modern asmr video made me question if asmr was even real, but this one proved that way before i knew what asmr even was...lol
I can literally feel the tingling sensation up my spine and back of my head with this one..!!!
Most modern asmr don't even come close to that..Best i get from them is a feeling of slight satisfaction. But not to this level..
Old good games are still good games but old, old good stuff will be still good stuff
The binaural audio algorithm used in this recording was created by QSound Labs for a hearing aid company, unfortunately the technology is patented and not available to the public so we are stuck with subpar ASMR for now.
My ears are like

yeah its called binural audio
yep XD
It’s called 𝗦𝗖𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔
me with half broken headphone's: *L I E S !*
wow so original
Is there anything that even comes close to this? Even the modern purpose-built ASMR videos can't touch this.
I feel the same! Nothing else is as good as this one!
keegan112099 i really wonder why!!
Many old games come sorta close to this, if you use the right sound card and set them up correctly. You can use any Creative X-Fi model sound card and activate CMSS-3D in its control panel under game mode, and play games that use DirectSound3D or OpenAL for sound, or an old Aureal Vortex 2 sound card for games that use A3D for sound. It was pretty impressive, sadly this tech has not been used in most newer games, but now with the advent of VR, this might return, Nvidia is already working on their Nvidia VRWorks Audio tech which works similarly to the old A3D tech.
Dan and phil's 3d audio trailer is even better than this one by far
Corkoth55 i've never got tingles in my life from asmr, apart from this. it's amazing to finally feel these legendary tingles...
please never stop creating and never stop bragging about this masterpiece you made
I started struggling to breathe when he put the bag over my ‘head’. My brain giving me that full package experience 💀
same i could feel the bag on my head
?? yall are weird

All of the fancy ones of course..
A fancy one.

Suspend your disbelief for the sake of this dope video pls k they just couldnt find any other reasonable explanation as to why a barber is putting a plastic bag over your head, other than it sounding pretty cool lol

It was a joke their buddy calm down
It's like that episode of FRIENDS where Joey finds out that's not how tailors measure pants.
17 years ago this quality of asmr😮 and today's asmr 😂
this was the first ASMR video I ever watched. I was 12 then I’m 24 now 😂 can’t believe this is still up !
omg
Yoooo me too, I'm surprised it still holds well to this day. Crazy this was 13 years ago
I come back to this when I think of things I found when i was younger 😂
That’s crazy I was 3 years old 💀😂
Im tryna find that video in which two chicks fights over who's going to cut my hairs🤣
When he whispered in the ear I got so scared that I opened my eyes that's like a ear jumpscare
bro same
I read this and then it happened

What was the etcetra or something he called that algorithm?

Man Well: (Humming a song) Oh, hello there, hello there, how are you? Yes, yes, you're here for the virtual haircut? Yes, yes OK. I will go get Luigi. He will come and cut your hair. I'll-I'll man just just stay right there. (Knock knock knock knock. )Ah, Luigi? (Knock knock knock knock knock. ) Ah, Luigi?!
Luigi: Who are you?!
Man Well: Ah, Luigi! It's Man Well here. A person is here for the virtual haircut. You better come up.
Luigi: Got it, Man Well, I will come up right now.
Man Well: OK, he's coming up right now. And... meanwhile I will go over here and play the music by the guitar, because that is what I do here at the barbershop. Hmm.
(Man Well takes out the guitar, starts playing the guitar as Luigi comes.)
Luigi: Ah, it's so nice to see you. Welcome to the Starky Sattarrah Barbershop. And your virtual haircut. I'd like to start the demonstration by moving over to your right hand side, and picking up this bag. (Picks up the bag.) If you just hold still for a second, I'll put this bag over your head. (Luigi puts the bag over your head.) Just like that. The bag over the top of the head. And now I'll pick the bag off. (Luigi picks the bag off.) There we go. The only reason I did that, it's because...all of the fancy barbershops do that. What you are listening to is I move off to your right ear and very quickly wash my hands. (Luigi starts washing his hands and meanwhile the phone starts ringing.) Man Well, would you get that please?
Man Well: Hm. Yes.
Luigi: Ah, thank you Man Well. Let me finish washing my hands here just, uh, bearly with a few more seconds. (Man Well starts talking to phone as Luigi finishes washing his hands.)
Luigi: Ah, there. Oh yes. As I was saying, all we are doing is using your head, (Luigi taps on your head.) as the listening point. And we have two microphones one of either side of the head...in the same position, as where your left...(Luigi flicks his thumb near your left ear.) And your right ears are. (Luigi flicks his thumb near your right ear.) Your brain is doing all of the work. Telling you where the sounds are coming from. OK, I'll go get the scissors. (Luigi goes and gets the scissors.) Ah, yes... It's nice and sharp. (Luigi starts clipping the scissors.) Now as I begin a clipping, and I bring the clippers closer to your ear. (Luigi brings the scissors closer to your right ear.) Very close to the right ear... (Luigi brings the clippers very close to your right ear.) Follow me as I move around the back of the head to the left ear... (Luigi brings the scissors closer to your left ear.) And up and over the top of the head. OK. Now, you can get the same effect better with the electric razor. (Luigi powers the electric razor.) I'll first bring it close to your right ear. (Luigi brings the electric razor closer to your right ear.) It's perfect. And around the back. And on to your left. (Luigi brings the electric razor closer to your back of the head to your left ear.) Ah, there. I think that looks wonderful! Man Well, what do you think?
Man Well: Huh, what? Oh, yes. YES. It looks wonderful Luigi. You do such a nice work.
Luigi: Ah, thank you so much Man Well.
Man Well: So fast, too...
Luigi: Now. As I walk around, I just want to tell you once more, (Luigi starts walking around meanwhile he speaks.) that your ability to hear where I am as I walk around the room is simply the amazing power of your brain. Calculating the tiny differences or cues in sound intensity, and arrival time from two open ears. And unlike any. Other hearing instrument, only ONE. Has the digital algorithm, that negates it's own physical presence in the ear, to fully restore those differences. And that algorithm is called... (Luigi whispers very close to your left ear.) Sattarah... Haha, haha-ha. Oh thank you! Thank you so much for stopping by the Starky Virtual Barbershop. Goodbye. (Luigi says just before he leaves.) And read there chief.
(If I made a mistake or missed something, fix it, AND IT TOOK ME THREE HOURS TO DO THAT DON'T FORGET TO LIKE BRO LIKE BRO!)
Forget about that new ASMR I only listen to vintage ASMR from 13 years ago on vinyl, it's the only real audio.
This was actually recorded in the 90s I think
