Hi Bernie--
I agree reverb doesn't work very well. I might be able to make some
suggestions. Do you need to match other stereo recordings made in the
same location or place the event in a stereo field with some credible
timing, volume and tonal cues? Did you by chance have a lengthy
"presence" recording made in the same location around the same time ?
I have some techniques I use when adding mono elements to a surround
mix that could be applied to stereo. Do you recall the setting
acoustically, the reflective surfaces and their compositions and
mic->subject positions/distances for the closer sound sources?
Best, Rob D.
