Klas,
Oh yes - that is the art of sound recording. Sound is coming out of the left
and right speakers, but a centre image appears to come from wallpaper, a
vase of flowers, or a cat, or whatever is half way between the speakers.
With a music mix, you pan-pot each mic to where you want that instrument or
vocal to come from. With nature recording it's not that easy, but the
overall effect which gives a pleasant stereo image is one where you can
identify where each sound object is placed in the stereo image.
I got that with Arnthor's crossed fig-8 mic recording we were discussing. I
could hear the whole stream and my feet about to get wet. :-)
That's why I talk about sonels, the "resolution" of the sound image, in
other words the number of different placements you can hear in a good sound
illusion.
