I'm told you can hear that on a good system. I don't listen critically
enough to know for sure.


I'd say that you CAN'T hear that because it doesn't exist with pan-potted
positioning of instruments. Of course, if the rock producer specifies an
overall stereo pair of mikes in addition to the multi-mike,
multi-channel-mono practices that are the norm, then you might hear it. But I
don't know of any rock recordings that were recorded that way. Does anyone
else know? I would love to find out.


Cowboy Junkies' The Trinity Session was recorded on a single Calrec
Ambisonic Microphone.

You might also google "The Glyn Johns Drum Recording Method".
