I didn't mean that exactly: recording a source with two identical channels
in stereo and then comparing them afterwards would help to determine where
and if a synchronisation loss was occuring - if after stereo recording
the two originally identical channels were out of sync. with each
other then the synchronisation loss is occuring somewhere between the
computer and the MD's DSP, meaning there is probably nothing 'wrong' with
the algorithm being used to combine the two channels for mono recording.
Of course the ATRAC may work differently on each of the two channels for
stereo recording...
