Joe and all, I use a recorder to do most live recording and that's what I know best.
I think we need to know how you're miking your subjects. It also might be good to know how far the speakers are separated. In fact, are you listening through speakers or with headphones? Is there a setting on the microphone which could possibly widen the stereo image? If your subject is very close to the mike, any movement can make a difference to the sound stage. Have the subject stand a bit further away from the mike. Is there quite a bit of reverb in the room used for recording. Rev. can add to the stereo effect. I use two mikes at 90 degrees , mounted on a single stand. I wish I could say that my stereo is too wide! I hope that helps somewhat.
