My Heart Will Go On - Neal Schon

Welcome to a demonstration

Of 3-dimensional sound

In order to achieve

The most convincing effect

We advise you

To close your eyes

The sound you are about to hear

Has been recorded

Using binaural technique

Binaural technique differs

From mono, stereo

And surround sound recordings

In that you can determine

The exact distance

And direction of a given sound

For instance

If I walk around you

You will be able to

Locate my voice

While I am talking to you

And if I drop my keys

And pick them up

You can determine

Whether my voice

Is coming from below

Or from a source

That is right next to you

By use of virtual sound sources

A variety of effects

Can be applied

Enhancing your experience

Of being in a different place

In addition to the effects conveyed

By the separate sound sources

All kinds of atmospheres

Can be created

Wrapping you up

In a virtual environment

«It can be noisy.»

«Ok this is about an hour?»

Or meditative

It can be almost anything

You wanted to be

Even a kiss

You now have a brief sample of

How the 3-D synthesis can be

Used in a musical context

The special and movable sound scene

Gives you a pleasant, relaxing

Almost meditative experience

Close your eyes

Lean back in a comfortable chair

And set your imagination free

And set your imagination free
