Comment Regular mics? What about binaural? (Score 3, Interesting) 190

The notion that I could record 24/96 audio on my 'pod with a "regular mic" is ludicrous. I have a pair of Core Sound binaural microphones, however. Provided I had the disk space, am I wrong in thinking that might make a sweet kit for bootlegging concerts?

(Yes, yes, bootlegging's naughty, blah, blah, blah.)

I've been able to get reliably decent boots on my ancient (as in, bought in '98) Sharp MiniDisc, even considering how lossy ATRAC is. By clipping the mics to the ends of the bows of my glasses -- i.e., an inch away from my ear canals -- I get a recording that's damned near exactly what I heard live. Using my iPod instead would be ideal. AFAICT, the recording wouldn't be compressed, the bit- and sample-rates are vastly higher, I'd be able to extract it digitally by mounting the device as a disk and venue security probably wouldn't look twice at an iPod.

I think I know what I'm doing this weekend.
