That's contrary to my experiance. Of course, you may be talking about something else. With a good audio system you can hear changes in perspective. I am in the process of purchasing a audio system that consists of the following: a set of Gallo Accoustic reference 3.1 speakers and Bel Canto Ref 1000 monoblock amps. My front-end will be my computer with an rme HDSP AES-32 going out to an RME ADI-8QS. I have spent months auditioning these speakers and amps at my stereo store. They are revealing enough that you can hear the sound of the venue that a recording was made in. You can hear the sound of the walls change when the recording moves to another place. As far as perspective goes, i have been able to hear performers moving around on stage and been able to hear their placement. Thus, when the mics are moved around, you can hear the stage move forward and backward and side to side. Since i am listening to stereo this is in a plane in front of me, but that is still a change in perspective, i'd argue. The poster of the original question regarding recording the outside environment was talking about turning this into a 24/192 surround sound mix. That will give you perspective in all directions. I hope this person has a big hard drive! Thanks, Bearcat M.
