Hi Phil--
I'm more confident listening to the original when evaluatng subtle
qualities like stereo imaging.
In headphones, the sense of elevation ("up") in the center is very
nice. I can't tell, without knowing the situation, how much sound
should be coming from the center but is seems the center imaging is a
tad lower-- but that can be preferable for speaker monitoring--
depending on your tastes,
Although it can seem counter-intuitive, when there is a man-made sound
coming from one direction, I tend to orient the rig so that source is
in the center of the stereo field (whether facing towards or away from
the sound). "Centering" tends to reduce left-right
discrimination which usually increases one's awareness of a sound
element.
If there's a massive object in the location such as a large
tree, rock or earth form, try placing the mic array so the mass
absorbs some of the energy from the unwanted source. Rob D.
