Modartt user forum » Pianoteq user forum » Where does the "stage" version put the binaural listener?
In the "Stage" version there are no settings to adjust the mic positioning and similar parameters of the "recording modes".
Does anybody know where the Stage version puts the listener in the "Binaural" recording mode? I guess it is in the position of the player, but I can't see any confirmation in the manual.

Binaural is literally the microphone perspective of the human head.
See:

I sampled a couple of instruments in the Pro version and it's always a player position, regardless of the micing. Of course player position for the harp for example is different from a piano...

Good point, I neglected to mention that in my first post.
You can move the virtual head model where you like in Standard and Pro. It starts out as player's perspective.
The binaural perspective is always the players perspective in Pianoteq.
A binaural perspective could always be from an audience perspective of course (binaural simply meaning the recording most closely resembling the perspective of the human ear), but in this case it starts out as a variant of the player's perspective, so that's what you will always get in Stage.
In the majority of the presets the binaural position is the position of the player, with however a very high height for a player of an average size ( height of the ears to 1m50 of the ground seems to me too high ). In some presets the binaural position is to the right of the piano (also at a very high height for a standing listener, 2 meters ). Conclusion, the employees of modartt are probably very tall men

Yes indeed - my question was "where was the head". Thanks.
however a very high height for a player of an average size ( height of the ears to 1m50 of the ground seems to me too high )
I am about that height, but not when sitting at the piano!

Yes. I haven't measured my eye height when seated but roughly I would guess 1.2 metres considering these calculations:

That 44" for eye height would be a more relaxed (lower) theatre seat position, so maybe take that to around 48" seated bolt upright at a piano stool?
About 1.2-1.22 metres eye height male adult?

This one also suggesting average eye height for a male seated 1.220 metres.
And if your model is Glenn Gould or Brad Mehldau the ears height can be a few centimeters above the keyboard...
Or Michel Petrucciani...

30cm over the average man at sitting height. That suggests to me likely to be at least 7 feet tall!.
Way taller than poor wee Rachmaninoff!

Ha ha, nice answer. You get a standing ovation for the pianos anyway!
I enjoyed the track too.

Yes, like this guy: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2006/...opandrock1
He sometimes also played with his feet...

FRANCE GALL, oui! We played a cover of "Ella, elle l'a" as house band for a Christmas party at my old science lab job. Good memories. And playing keyboards standing (specially while working the pedal) is very bad for the back!
