Topic: Is anyone happy with binaural mode?
Hello! I'm not trying to bash our fav piano I'm just curious.
So, I play 80% of time on my headphones (Sennheiser HD598, so decent ones) and 20% on speakers. I own Pianoteq 5 Stage.
Prime reason for me to upgrade to Stage was because I was excited about binaural mode (I don't care, I appreciate the product immensely anyway). I had a memory of some sound tech demo of a bee flying around my head when wearing headphones - incredible experience. Somehow I projected that memory on my expectations of binaural mode.
But it is nothing like that I am simply unable to get anything useful from that mode. There is no sense of 3D. Of course delay and reverb changes a lot when I move dummy head around, but it does not produce proper results at all.
I would love to be able to sonically position myself in front of the piano and add some nice reverb to it, but it seem impossible.
Or maybe it's just me? Does anyone have any success stories with binaural mode?
