Now now dears, I thought I had been most specific using as I did a very
primitive old example of how not to do Stereo agains a more enlightened
approach. I did also use the technique to help with a stereo recording with
poor channel seperation as well.
Its interesting what some old stereo recordings throw up like Those Were
The Days from Mary Hopkin for example, the actual recording sounds better
but there is movement of a source of the backing singers in a couple of
places.

It's why stereo created by pan potting mono sources ends up sounding very
false. Might well be what you want, of course.

"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
