Thanks Bearcat. For the most part the voices are positioned close to the listener - the female singing in the 3rd recording is positioned further away although is given quite a bit gain because I'm concerned about dynamic range issues in the final application - it should have a lower level as the king is meant to be listening to her voice through an open window. The 3rd voice that appears in the second recording (close to 2min) should be positioned to the rear at your left - and the second voice (also male) should wander a bit to the back. For me, binaural recordings tend to get squashed a bit at the front and at the rear leaving lobes extending from the sides. If you give the sound a trajectory, where it leads off in a particular direction, I think that can help extend the front/rear image. Better quality headphones help too. Sorry the files didn't stream properly - you can download the files directly with these links:
