Yes, in the stereo image. If you listen carefully to most recordings made with
a coincident pair you will find that the low frequencies tend to move towards
the centre, leaving the mids and highs to provide localisation cues. So on
something like a cello or a tabla, which both have low frequency content but
mid and high articulation, a casual listen will place them correctly in the
stereo field. A more careful listen, however, will reveal that the lower
harmonics are not aligned with the upper harmonics.
So, I use shuffling to correct that. If done correctly on a musical application
(with distinct instruments in distinct locations) you can create a recording
that sounds as if each instrument was close-miked and panned.
