Hi Umashankar, David and Neil, Thanks for listening and for sharing your thoughts. No, I didn't use the Brahma mic for this one but custom made binaural microphones that I made out of mounting omni capsules flush with the outside surface of hard plastic cheap headphones. These headphones have a semi-spherical shape. This is a link to a pic http://i.seimg.net/images/35777/main/cv160.jpg (I removed the metallic grill and made the already present holes underneath bigger to fit the capsules). I'm using now a different model mounting the capsules on wooden discs that get placed right on the surface of the ear. Some pics of the building process here: https://picasaweb.google.com/116711693491212900476/BinauralMicrophonesBuilding?authuser=0&feat=directlink and a sample recording here: http://soundcloud.com/hcenteno/high-park-in-the-summer
David, I'm glad it worked for you using earbuds. I usually like much better how they work using over the ear headphones, particularly I find open-back headphones give a better image (I use AKG K240). Neil, yes, as far as I know one of the issues with binaural recordings is that the individual experience is not consistent due to physical differences (head size, ear shape, etc) to which I guess our brain gets "calibrated" acoustically. Seems that the "back-front" swapping is a common issue.
