Once again another example how stereo headphones can be utlised to amazing effect

The demo uses both horizontal as well as vertical sound movement.

Try playing it in the dark or with your eyes closed!

That is awesome, made my hair stand on end as it sounds like it is right behind you.

I never knew that was possible with just stereo headphones. Thanks.

Kinda defeats the premiums you pay for "5.1 headphones" when it's a simple case of doing it right in the first place on the creators part eh

I did actually think that whilst listening to it.

I was listening to that track hoping there wouldn't be a loud scream or something at the end, sounded so creepy.

Your right your hair does stand up and you get a tingle down your spine very creepy it's like watching a horror film and your waiting for the scary bits

Do have any more like that.

Speed Demon by Michael Jackson has some nice stereo surround effects.

amazing,,, is that using one of those wierd mic'd up heads to record the audio though? I remember seeing something quite similar and very cool as a DVD extra on a film where they explained about this head with microphones in the ears..

That is awesome

I really believed that the guy was walking around me shaking that box of matches, it was quite scary (did it in my HC room just after turning the projector off, so it was almost pitch black!)
