I'd like to note that there are very good direct-to-two-track recordings of classical and jazz music done using only one DAT recorder (or similar). Mostly in audiophile record arena. See Chesky, Sheffield Labs, and Reference Recordings. I personally like to play with real ear -recordings. Just put small high quality mic capsules to ear plugs and put those into your ears and record to DAT. Now you have recorded _real_ 3D soudscape. Listen with headphones. - Jussi Laako -- PGP key fingerprint: 161D 6FED 6A92 39E2 EB5B 39DD A4DE 63EB C216 1E4B Available at PGP keyservers
