.... It doesn't help either that the spacial relationships established by the decca don't make sense when you compare them to the bleed... the accordion and banjo are bleeding very heavily into mics that the decca tree suggests are opposite one another on the soundstage, which makes panning things widely pretty hazardous.

did you consider the Decca's might not be labelled correctly? the coffee boy might have been tasked with plugging the gear in and labeling the tracks....it wouldn't be the first time, eh?

..... and probably did a bit of premixing to make sure it'd work before they started tracking, but knowing nothing of their plan vonfirms your Sherlocke Holmes allusion -- this is detective work. Excellent practice, but frustrating.

i think it's a complete waste of time without the mike layout details; this is what i find frustrating....even irritating. i'd rather watch cricket, and i never watch cricket!

full credit to you for having a really good bash at it though. excellent practice indeed.
