Re: How many channels do YOU think are found in binaural?

From the link on binaural that you yourself gave:

"Does it matter if the two channels get bolluxed up along the way?"

"Yes! It is vitally important to keep the two channels carrying the binaural signals completely separate, with no mixing as frequently occurs with stereo recording. The left ear signal must also be heard at the playback end by the listener's left ear and vice versa. Many binaural recordings begin with an identification of the two channels since this is even more important than with stereo recordings. Reversing the channels gives the equivalent of having had your back to the performers when they were playing; the facial features on the front of our heads are missing on the back of our heads!"

Binaural works rather differently from stereo.
