If one wants stereo, one should       start by recording in stereo.              On the other hand, search for "accidental stereo" for many       interesting results!              > I believe that's the same technique that was accomplished from       > the original mono recordings by the Beatles.              Not quite. With The Beatles, they probalby re-mixed the original       multichannel tapes (or their copies, for magnetic tapes have to be       copied once in 20 years or so, losing quality!) in stereo by       panning some or all of the channels more or less off-center. It not       true, time-based stereo, but its loudness-based surrogate.              I have both of those orange-blue Beatles box sets where the first       half of each CD has a sequence of mono tracks and the second half --       a sequence of corresponding stereo tracks. Whereas my loudspeaker is       monophonic, I never listened to the stereo half :-)              ---         * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/101 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 342/200 382/147 2454/119 4500/1       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
