John,

Noise is nothing to do with sound perspective. That's why I go by ear.
Forget noises. What I am listening to is similar to the different
perspectives of camera lenses. To risk taking the analogy too far, a
cardioid is like a fisheye lens, a short gunmic is a wide angle lens,
and a rifle mic is like a standard 50mm lens. Stereo is very fuzzy
Cinemascope. :-)
