Binaural Recording

Binaural recording refers to a specialised technique of using two microphones, often arranged in a “dummy head” configuration to mimic human acoustic perception. Unlike real-time spatial audio engines, this method carefully crafts and captures a fixed, 360-degree soundscape directly onto the storage medium without digital processing. Intended for headphone use, it saw rare, experimental use in games. This tag highlights titles featuring audio specifically sound-engineered using these physical acoustic principles rather than software-driven virtualisation.
