In reading the discussions we've had over the years about different mic
methods, the idea has come up multiple times regarding having a stereo
image that transcends the two speakers, i.e., wider than speaker placement
would seem to allow.
The recording on which I'm currently working is an a cappella multitrack
recording which, while I'm not calling "avant garde" (I'm not The Beatles,
nor am I U2), is certainly out of the mainstream stylistically. It's coming
from a 1960's/1970's classic/psychedelic rock perspective, with some songs
being pretty much straight harmonies, and others heavily sampled and
effected.
My question is this: is it possible to get that extreme stereo width from a
multitracked recording, as opposed to a live/no overdub setup? And if so,
how?
