"Pan potting mono sources"?? Delightfully antiquated terminology, Dave:-) I haven't heard that phrase for years. Did you get it from The Boys Own Guide to Tape Recording circa 1962 ?

Multitrack recording is all about creating an aural illusion. So neither "false" nor "true" come into the statement.

Are you saying that you can pick out instruments "placed in the stereo soundstage created by (your words) "pan potting mono sources?" If so, I am currently working on a baroque orchestral recording in which three key brass or woodwind players were recorded afterwards, and placed subsequently in their correct positions.

If as you say it "ends up sounding very false" then you will have no problem in picking them out. Shall I e-mail you a link to the track?

I won't hold my breath waiting for your reply:-)))

Best regards
