Add moving spatial ambience to your stereo recordings

Stereo recordings sometimes tend to be remarkably “flat” or onedimensional. Normally these are recorded in a studio, so that musicians and singers remain relatively stationary in relation to the microphones. When the music is played back, one receives a fairly static “sound picture” – despite it being stereo.

Contrast this with reality – particularly in a smaller setting – where a singer will turn this way and that to the audience, a violinist might twist while playing, or a drummer on bongo drums might move between two or three sets of drums. In short, there is a good deal of motion in a real life “sound picture” that might not find its way into a stereo recording.
