We hear music emanating from in front of us at a concert (for the sake of my argument, the traditional set-up). A microphone faces the stage, oriented forward like our ears and relatively near them.
The music is so recorded.
Later, a tape of the recording is played back through speakers upon that stage to us.
I'd argue the performance would be the most accurate this way.

I'd argue your analysis here, too, is simplistic. (NT) - Kal Rubinson 19:04:59 03/10/09 (5)

  mysterious and point out in exactly what way a mirror image (except, of course, for that right-left thing) would be different?
  - this is almost exactly the program in binaural recording - tunenut 11:59:56 03/11/09 (0)
    Microphones are placed at the ear locations of a dummy head. The playback through headphones should reproduce exactly what a person in the dummy head location is hearing.
    
    Personally, I explored binaural recordings with some excitement and was a little disappointed. It doesn't work perfectly for me. Maybe my head is the wrong size or my ears don't match or something.
    
    Once you leave binaural recording, there is a vast range of microphones and recording techniques. There are many directional microphones.

    Sorry. I do not find the discussions you initiate to be worth more than a passing comment. And I stand by the use of simplistic.

        1. Most of the time you seem to want to provoke rather than to explore.
        2. Your original post here seems to indicate that you have not fully thought through the basic issues.
        3. The more complex the matter, the more time and effort it takes to discuss it.
        4. Consequently, I tend to use the hit-and-run form of response unless the topic and/or the proposition really engages me.
