The hype (which I guess I buy into) about the (DDD) recordings of The Cowboy Junkies Whites Off Earth Now and then The Trinity Sessions was all about the great job that was done of single miking them.
Sound stage of studio recordings
I have felt that in live recordings it is easy to pin point the location of musical instruments. However for other recordings it is a hit and miss. Also for vocal solo with some instruments, the center imaging is also a hit and miss. In some songs the vocals appear to be in center. In other cases, it feels like coming from both speakers and circling around etc.
Anyone though about this topic..

The simple answer is that mixing boards have pan pots. You mic something and the panning allows you to place it wherever you want in the stereo image. Live mixing keeps everything mostly in mono so the audience all hears the same thing. When doing live concert mixing I often put a small amount of stereo reverb in the mix to fool people into thinking they're having more fun than they actually are, and a recorded feed from the board can be multi tracked to mix it later. |
