[QUOTE="Milt Hathaway, post: 59126, member: 26"] Re: Whats wrong with this mix? Psychoacoustics research has shown that when you sit in the 3d audio space of a live event your brain can sort out the wanted signal from the noise (crowd, reverb, etc.) When you reduce all of that information down to two sources (speakers, headphones, etc.) your brain can't sort it out as well so the signal-to-noise ratio seems worse. Many of us run into a variation of the theory every time we mix monitors. It's much easier for a singer to pick his voice/instrument out of a stereo IEM mix than it is to pick it out of a mono IEM mix. That's also a big reason why the trick of running multiple wedge mixes to the same stage position can help keep a difficult musician happy. [/QUOTE]
