Here Is A Cool Way To Listen To Youtube Vids in Stereo

Post by Brian Kurlychek »

Currently we have all been listening to our favorite videos in Mono as we are watching them.

Now you can hear your favorite steel player in STEREO...

Just add this code at the end of the youtube video url:

That's interesting. I uploaded a short video, panning a single channel of audio left/right/left/right to hear the results and it does work fine. The sound quality was as good as the origional, where the normal URL (without Brian's tag) had that muffled jumbled sound in mono. Also on the 'stereo' page there was an additional icon below the counter that toggled between 'view in normal quality' and 'view in high quality', but they both took the same amount of time to download. Unfortunately, when the stereo version was downloaded using, in my case, the 'easy video downloader' to save to computer, it didn't save in stereo but mono. Me thinks i'm going to consider using some stereo effects on future utubes (pan echo alright!)
