Cetera Algorithm
New sound algorithm to create 3d effects in sound. You are femiliar with sterio, 5.1 surround etc things. But hear this mp3 using your head phones (head phone is a must) http://juneja.info/binaural/v-i-r-t-u-a-l-_-b-a.mp3 
From this mp3 , you will get the feeling of a barber shop, and you are setting on the chair. If this mp3 makes you crazy ,it is nothing but cetera algorithm.
Starkey’s Cetera technology makes the hearing aid “invisible” to the brain. Cetera removes the barrier between sound and the brain’s ability to process signals. The Cetera technology is based on an innovative new algorithm- the complex mathematical formula that drives a hearing aid. Cetera’s algorithm can match the exact characteristics of the wearer’s ear. This customization removes the barrier that most hearing aids erect between the incoming sound waves and the data sent to the brain for processing.

Here is the full dialogs of this virtual barber shop:
Manuel - Hello there!Hello there!How are you?Yes, yes…You are here for the virtual haircut? yes, yes…ok… I will go and get Luigi.He will come and cut your hair… I’m Manuel, just stay right there.
Manuel – Luigi? (knock-knock) Oh Luigi? he’s present here for your virtual haircut. You’d better come up…..
Luigi – Grazie* Manuel, I’m coming right now.
Manuel – He’s coming up right now and me I’ll go over here and play music, play the guittar because that’s what I do here at the barbershop.
Luigi - Ah, it’s so nice to see you.Welcome to the Starkey Cetera Barbershop and our virtual haircut. I’d like to start the demonstration by moving over to your right hand side and picking up this bag. If you just hold still for a second I’ll put this bag over your head! Just like that..The bag over the top of the head…
And now, I’ll take the bag off. There we go.
The only reason I did that it’s because all of the fancy barbershop do that.
What you’re listening to is I move to your right here and very quickly wash my hands
Trimmmm-Trimmm (the phone is ring) Manuueeellll could you get that please? Oh, thank you Manuel. Let me finish washing my hands here… just bear with a few more seconds.
Ah, yes… As I was saying, all we are doing is using your head as the listening point… and we have two microphones one on either side of the head, in the same position as where your left and your right ears are.
Your brain is doing all of the work, telling you where the sounds are coming from… ok…I’ll go and get the scissors… Nice sharp
And now as I begin the clipping and I bring the clip close to your ear, very close to the right ear…folow me as I move around the back of the head… to the left ear…and up over the top of the head…okay. Now, you can get the same effect better with the eletric razer, I’ll first bring it to your right ear…And around the back… and on your left. I think that looks wonderful. Manuel, what do you think?
Manuel – Ah? Yes..Ah, yes…It looks wonderful Luigi!You do such nice work
Luigi – Oh, thank you so much Manuel.
Manuel – So fast too.
Luigi - Now, as I walk around I just want to tell you only once more that your ability to hear where I am as I walk around the room is simply the amazing power of your brain, calculating the tinny differences or cues in sound intensity and arrival time from two open ears and unlike any other hearing instrument, only one has the digital algorithm that negates on physical presence in the ear to fully restore those differences.
And that algorithm is called… CETERA.
Oh, thank you, thank you so much for stopping by the Starkey Virtual barbershop
Good bye and arrivederte*
Okay … Some more virtual mp3s
http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/phon.mp3
http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/voce.mp3 (sexy girl)
I will let you know when more 3D sounds are published:
Wow! That was one of the coolest things I have heard. But you need a good headset to appreciate it.
wow ! wonderful algorithm …. great experience … any more example to listen up?
To listen more samples get the android app Real 3D Songs

I have been studing sound for a long time. Many different people and groups have come up with several solutions to trying to make sound play back as accurate as possible. This algorithm and process has to be the best I have heard yet. I hope that we will start to see this used in many commercial products.
very very very nice
i like this sooooo much
thank you
i like more help me
The Virtual Barber Shop was amazing! I actually thought I was in a barber’s shop!
Absolutely awesomely amazing!
i like it very much,,,
i need more samples pls, someone give the sollution to download this type of audios,,,,
SPLENDID! Great effort. Pl. send me more.
hahahahaha niiiiiiceeeeee!!! I was sitting in my chair with a smile on the face for 20 minutes hahahah i think that also “shure” in-ear headphones done their part. Pure virtual reality! When the visual experience reaches this level of reality we will be in a new era!
Now, i would like to hear this alghorythm in a firt-person shooter
It’s fantastic
thanx
this is super!
This is sound great. looking forward for more sound of it.
Super sound! Where can I get the Cetera algorithm? Una de las mejores aportaciones que he escuchado en los últimos tiempos. Gracias por compartirla.
it is mmindblowing…..superb …..awsm…………pl pl plsssss send me more…………………
Amazing!!!!… It’s sounds wonderful!!!.
This is very very AMAZING….
Some body can send me more exaples of BINAURAL sounds?
or an other site with this sounds!…..
I need more sounds… I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE!
please..send answers to my e-mail!….. lbmodonesi@yahoo.com.br or lbmodonesi@hotmail.com
THANKS!!!!
Amazing, sounds wonderful!!!!
Please, let me know how to get Cetera algorithm?
I recently heard 3 of ur productions,viz.,barbershop,voce & phon. I liked very much. PLEASE can u send me more of those. These things r superb & I think, this same effect should be used in movies & games.
Hi,
I am a student working on Binaural Audio Processing.
Virtual Barber clip was a good way to explain Binaural hearing.
I want to learn more on Cetera Algorithm.
Hoping to hear from you
Very interesting, but what’s new here? I’d think you just use a set of special microphones (two?) to record and then play them in separate stereo channels. Maybe the trick is to use digital processing to enhance the stereo effect? Or use some sort of directional microphones…
The article on audiology online is dated by 1999. And I think this must be exactly what is used in 5.1 and similar systems.
Anyway, the sound examples are astonishing! I had to look back before I realized the sound comes from the headphones! =)
Fantastic!
Awesome, haven’t heard anything like this before.
It is awesome.. It is so like real. Who did the work? I’m dying to know.. Kudos!
Hi, from what i saw, you record to a single file both the signals from left and right microphone to according trak (left and right) I just dont understand where you implement the algorithm. The quality of the sound is due to the type of mic you use, and the timings of the sound are there already. The only “thing” different is you used an human ear and a not very small room, right? Please get back to me with this!
Never the less, great job! Loved it!
get this to the tv, video games, EVERYTHING. I don’t care if i need to where headphones this blows dolby 7.1 out the window and I don’t have to buy expencive equipment. this might also save us from having to change digital audio formats cause people want more than just sterio, mp3 works great with this. keep it up make it known get it out there and use bluetooth headphones to do it.
Hi, I need the email or phone number of the creators of virtual barbershop.
If you know how can I contact they please write me to this wall.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhh my god! I was about to cry when I first heard clip barber shop…I was so happy to listen this..may one of the greatest experience in my life….congrats for the creators of this work…
Is there a software solution to process 5.1 (or >) audio to this awesome only 2chanel format?
Its just too good…Ive been making everyone I know hear this like crazy…
google “Holophonics” it’s amazing
It’s really amazing,I mean the sound quality of that virtual barber shop is so pleasant and wonderful. I used to hear that audio at least once a day. carry on creating such amazing algorithms and sound clips.
Hi!
That was great!
Who tell me where I can find more of sth like this mp3′s?
Send me links to my e-mail. Thx
Hi! The Cetera experience is just awesome. I would love to have some information about the actual usage of this algorithm into music and films. Thank you so much for descovering this!
Truly Amazing! Even I am making everyone around listen to this…
At first they think I am crazy… but soon they go around doing the same… cheers to Cetera
AWSOME !
M LOVIN IT
This was something amazingly amazing.
I heard this and I was amazed! Is there any way to convert music to this format? Plz let me know if there is! That would be so amazing! Cetera is so epic. It will probably change the way we listen to music, TV, movies, videogames, ect. this is just Wow
me and my family enjoyed Cetera Algorithm…
great work… hats off
fantastic! Blendid! it’s first time when sound amazed me so much!
awsome man,
from where can i get one like this?
This could really take off as a form of entertainment!! I loved listening to the barber shop and imagining; it’s like reading except more.. sensual
send me moreee!
it was very spectacular.first time I heard barbershop i looked my around spontaneously , specially when barber put plastic bag on my head. wow I think this algorithm can change Movie industry and specially scary movies
thanks for this sweet experience that I tasted by my ears this time.
That was excellent!!! I am thinking of future movies by listening only we can virtual imagine that it is happing around us.
I am waiting for more virtual mp3s
I heard virtual barber a million times and i’m still not sick of it!
I could hear it so many more times!
that’s incredibly amazing and awesome ! Move it to the TV !
wowwwwwwwww
it was unbelievable
is that depend on hardware or software?
i mean could we have it for all our movies?
awsome
This is just amazing!!
Could anyone please tell me WHY I don’t have all my music and films in cetera algorithm? Where’s the problem? Who doesn’t want to pay who knows how much to whom?
Is it possible to buy Zuccarelli Loudspeakers?
http://www.alfa.lt/straipsnis/10272783
this once is the best ;]]
it is amazing and beuttiful .now i now more about it
excuse me for spelling problems.i listen to it .it made me superised .thankyou.
amazing’ PLEASE put more mp3 like this to download, it’s better than a lot of normal musics. I hear barbershop when I go sleep’ lol
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Wonderfull hats off for inventors of the Algorithm need moreeeeeeeee
Friggin amazing, wow, that is nice, don’t stop, keep up the good work.
Hi everyone;
thank you for this very interesting Mp3. PLEASE, could you send me an Algorithm as equations espatialy a elevation (vertical) palne.
and if the frequency hase an effect.
wow,,,, it was very nice to feel,,,, just imagine if we are seing a movie with same soung technology other than 5.1 or dts ……
it was amazing……..
and is it a software which is used for creating effect like this……????
from whre ican read more about this software????
Thanks for naming an algorithm after me!
This is really awesome just because I felt like I was really at a barber shop. I pinpoint the location of every sound I heard, to the point where I thought you were about to cut my ears off.
Love it!
Thanx so much for this .
i love it, but, i want the same … IN A BATTLE FIELD, WITH GUNS! GRENADES! EXPLOTIONS! WOW, T_T i cant find it … help
jajajaja.jajaja@hotmail.com
Is there anyone that sells a program that does this?
I can’t believe this hasn’t caught on yet! it’s 1000 times better than surround and at a fraction of the cost.
Is this for sale somewhere…you say at a fraction of cost of surround sound so where did you buy it? email me at iam.gaiasback.happy@gmail.com . Thx.
Thank you so much for making this publicly available. Apart from being brilliant clever, it was so real I was really shocked. Well done. I hope the technology spreads. It would be phenomenal for audio books and drama.
I am sure that it will revolutionise the way that deaf people use aids, and probably be much appreciated by blind people too, as well as those of us who are fortunate to have our senses.
very interesting …. this technology could be applied also in the MP4 movies.
Awwwwwwssssoooooooommmmmmeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm…. this needs an algorithm? “Binaural recording” with two microphones on either side of a “fake” head does this without an algorithm.
Hey Recording guy,
Please create one and post the link here, so that lots of people interested in that.
Holy shit.
They need to make music like this!
Hello!
I need urgently information about the Data of the VIRTUAL BARBER! Could it be used free in our acoustic institute or is it licenced? Do somebody has the name of the person who got the licence for the data?
Our institute is called: European Research and Education Center for the Sustainable Development of Acoustic Space and was created in the context of Linz2009, European Capital of Culture.

Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

Wow! That was awesome! my mom got me a latte espresso (portable mp3/wma player), and it had that virtual barber shop on it. i listened to it so many times. i was wondering if there is anything else like it.
What can I say. It is a revolution. I am ultimately excited while and after listening any of demo mp3′s. I want this algorithm at large. Games, movies, phone calls, whatever…It is just awesome. Perfect. Thanks.
I’m curious whether the algorithm is proprietary or under some free license? I would be glad to try it, since I’m a professional programmer and also play music. But I deal with open source platform and so that would only work if the algo is under GPL or so… Where I could find more info about it?
Perfectly blended. Totally cool, hats off to you guys.
Hey!!,
i listened this a year or may be two before and only remembered the word cetera,whic luigi said very colose to ear, today i was just surfing and googled cetera and see i am here,
nice job!!
The voice made chills run down my spine! That was amazing! lol, I was kinda scared too.
They need to do this with porn….
On my system the surround effect only works for left – right – and rear. I don’t hear anything coming from the front perspective. It would need to be full 360, especially in the front, to be useful for theatrical applications.
I work in motion picture sound and listened to the mp3 with excellent headphones.
Fantastic review, plenty of valid things in there which I am going to ought to look at just before paying for the cellular phone.
Amazing!!
I want more of these amazing 3d sounds!
hi !
where can I find anything about this algorithm? I’m studying on 3d sounds and want to know more about this algorithm.thanx in advance !
Good bye and arrivederci (arrivederci means goodbye in italian)
Thanksfor sharing this with us!I trulylike this objectand you are given here really a superbinformation.Thanks.Keep it up.keep up the high-qualityworks.keep blogging.

I used my Bose professionals for this and it was amazing. Then I showed it to a few friends and my parents, my mom was laughing and moving, in attempt of avoiding a haircut and my dad was confused at first, opened his eyes, was like who was doing this behind me…lol
awesome work!
wow this is very cool
it is very very excellent.
It sounds so strange when you’re listening, but it’s really amazing!
that’s the best. It’s real skill
The coolest thing i have ever heard
That is absolutely terrifying!
Wow, virtual surround sound, just like in the 90′s. Utterly underwhelming, and the Mario bros. were annoying too.
Cetera Algorithm is awesome!
However, the links http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/phon.mp3 and http://www.sajithmr.com/downloads/voce.mp3 are broken. Will you republish these files? Thanks!
really amazing!!!!! two thumbs up…!!
tw0 thumbs up!!!
Really cool, but that transcript of the “dialog” was absolute shit.
That was so odd, I swear I actually jumped when he whispered in my ear, and checked behind myself.
hey man excellent job, iv currently been doing the same thing with two microphones panned to each ear, but this is very limiting. where can i find the mathematical formula for this algorithm? would be a great help if anyone knows
Wow… amazing technology… I felt it like real when a cover was put on the head, and the trimmer machine and even tapping the head… gr8 technology… feel like how it would be if this technology is used for the songs….
woah?! Sooo fascinating! I want more!
))
Wow!
I can only look forward to the new audio book recordings in 3D! It might be even better than a movie!
Good job. now how can I record my guitar and singing to sound like this?
Is it me or all that’s required is a mic and a pretty good sound board that’ll pan and go up and down… Last I heard an algorithim is a mathematical calculation that in this case applied to a hearing aid can offer as good a sound as the natural hearing cavity. So, I suppose there will be no noble prize for discovering “america’ once more.
