Binaural self head shave

Binaural Soundman OKM I

Subject : Self shaving my head bold, then shaving my beard.
Date : 2023 07 28
Location : France. Indoor
Notes : Recorded wearing a backpack with the H5, had the cables run from the front as to interfere less with the head shaving. There's handling noise from the cable being loose and or getting in the way and me adjusting them.
8:15 I put hairs from the sink into the bin. 9:05 I put moisturizing cream onto on my head. 10:07 trimming my beard and moustache
Due to the ITD (Interaural time difference) nature of the recording, headphones or IEM's are highly recommended even if you have good speakers.
Hardware : Zoom H5 as recorder set at 3 gain. Soundman OKM 1 Classic Solo as microphones. Set in ears.
Processing : Trim only. No normalization.

Attribution is greatly appreciated but not required. Recommendation : X sound by Sadiquecat on Freesound.org

Hope you enjoy :)

Hi @fmiramar_
I'm afraid I can't record with the Zoom's XY capsule and use the jack input at the same time (which I connect the Soundman OKM I to).
Also it used "plug in power" (3v?) which the other inputs of the recorder can't deliver (only 24v or 48v for input 1/2).

I do have other microphones I could setup in XY mode OR AB or ORTF, and record with the binaural mics at the same time.
I could record something if you're interested?

Thanks a lot for uploading and sharing this! :) By any chance, do you have the XY recording from the same take of the binaural? I would like to check the difference if possible. If yes, can you please upload it?
