Hi Rich,

Thanks for the info, I wasn't listening on headphones though, Mackie
HR624's. Perhaps, a lil bit of waves s-imager to narrow the field would
bring back a centre. I must say the recording sounded very nice and crips.
Hadn't noticed any noise/hiss. You got me curious, what recorder and mikes
did you use?
