Re: Mono v. Stereo

["John Tudor" jtudor2005]

Another thing worth considering (in my humble experience) is that with
mono recording, you may get a nice clean recording of a bird
vocalising for example. But with stereo, you may gain considerable
insight from other sounds not heard in mono. Was the bird just talking
to itself for instance, or was it actually responding to another bird
or threat off centre that has not been picked up in mono.

One thing I've often wondered about is how much useful information has
been missed over the ages by not having a complete picture of that
moment in time that is captured by a recording or photo. What's just
out of frame? What's just out of earshot?

Just an rambling thought
