Going back to when I was invited by Lamborghini Squadra Corse to attend and record one of their Essenza SCV12's development test at Monza Circuit last year, I also would have loved to make some binaural recordings but there were already too many things to do that day. My second chance came a couple of weekends ago during the Lamborghini World Finals and where four Essenza SCV12 hit the track for some free practice sessions.

Misano is really a perfect place to feel the surround effect recorded by binaural microphones. If you're authorized to stay track-side you can move from one point to another of the circuit by using two different service roads: one that winds all around the outside of the track and one that allows you to stay inside of it. This is the one I wanted to use the most for this video. I especially enjoyed being at Turn 16 (last corner), hearing the cars accelerating out of T8, then flying by behind you at high speed for T11 and then watching them heading to the start/finish line out of T16.

Given the lenght of the video, please remember no one is forcing you to watch for its entire length, especially when it comes to my binaural audio ones, which are all primarly for background listening. For those new to these kind of videos, I only use static scenes (with the gear mounted on a tripod or directly in my hands) in order to better highlight the 3D/surround effect of this unique stereo recording. If you want to actually see the cars in action, there are other 1,900 videos on my channel done in this way and also a couple of fully dedicated video to the Essenza SCV12.

-- What the hell is a 3D/Binaural recording? --
Binaural recordings are reproductions of sound the way human ears hear it. Traditionally, recordings have been made using mono or stereo. Mono uses a single microphone while stereo uses two, spaced apart from each other. Binaural recording takes the stereo method one step further by placing two microphones approximately at the same average distance that exists between one and the other human ear. To recreate the best effect you must put the microphones in your ears or by using a "dummy head" (wherein a mannequin head is outfitted with a microphone in each ear) because having a real head or a head shape that separates the two microphones is what makes the magic works. In fact if a car passes on your left side the sound will take a few extra microseconds to reach the right ear and it will also be louder in one ear (left) than the other. This is caused by the fact we have a thick skull and spongy brain between the two ears and sound waves interact with the physical constitution of the listener and the surrounding space. Instead of following the cars like I'm used to do with my 'standard', stereo videos, keeping the microphone static (and so the camera) the surround and depth effect typical of the binaural recordings is enanched.
