> HDR is, in effect, like Auto-Tune The difference between these two is that HDR is a technique designed to work around the limitations of the transfer medium: our eyes perceive more dynamic range than our cameras. Properly-done HDR should be closer to reality than the LDR image. Auto-Tune, OTOH, is creating a new effect, "fixing" the original singing. The recording fidelity itself is plenty high enough. Binaural recording is similar to HDR, too. Used properly, it will produce a stereo effect which should match what a local (human) listener would have heard. Used improperly, it's just stereo recordings.
