Daughtry’s “As You Are” Recorded in #3DAudio with Hooke Audio’s “Verse”
This special acoustic version of Daughtry‘s “As You Are” was recorded in 3D Audio, with the Hooke Verse wireless recording system, the Hooke Verse.
The Hooke Verse is essentially a pair of wireless headphones that have microphones on each ear bud. The recording is in 3D Audio, or binaural audio, which basically means that it sounds exactly the way you “hear” when you listen to it. If you listen to this recording with your headphones on, or with a nice pair of stereo studio monitors, like the IK Multimedia iLoud Micro Monitors or similar, you’ll hear the sound space as if you were on the stage with Chris Daughtry and his band as he sings and plays guitar.
The crazy part about this is that people have been trying to achieve surround sound with mixing in 5.1, or 7.1 for years now. But in order to actually make something sound really 3D, you’d have to simply record it that way. Also, the Hooke Verse employs a one-of-a-kind patented technology, which is the ability to deliver lossless, dual-channel audio over Bluetooth with zero latency!!! To date, there hasn’t even been a mono recording solution that can do that. Not only does it serve up intimate, flawless binaural recordings wirelessly – the Hooke Verse also syncs to any smartphone, computer or camera (Like a Go Pro or the obvious expensive camera used to shoot the Daughtry video).
Why would you want to record something in binaural or 3D audio?
Well, it sounds WAY better for one, and eliminates the shitty recordings that you may get with your expensive smartphone at a concert. Also, if you’re a sound designer, film composer, or a really slick music producer or engineer, you can start recording and adding ambient sounds or tricked out vocals to your mixes – spatially immersing the listener into your soundscape, mix or song just by recording it the way people actually hear things.
The Hooke Verse is $159.99 USD, but those HD and 4K video concert recordings will be PRICELESS. For more information on the Hooke Verse from Hooke Audio, please visit: www.hookeaudio.com
