Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

Lotsa good ideas rolling around on this.

I just wanted to ask - and maybe I missed a post on this or whatever -

Are we talking a 'stereo' delay? I ask this because, as I babbled
on before about how delays and 'time shifting', etc - REALLY open up
a lot of new sound possibilities...these possibilities are seriously
diminished however - with a mono concept.

I realize this may offend any hard core 'analog' disciples - and you
can always just buy 2 (which is good for the revenue stream, but less
likely to happen on the part of the buyer) yet I thing this issue
should be dealt with from a 'biggest bang for the buck' sort of basis.

Or most importantly - the biggest 'aural capabilties' for the buck

Somehow or other my MOTM is going to be stereo- "end of
discussion...for me anyhow" - and I know we all know of various ways
to accomplish this - but delays, are REALLY a whole new world, in the
stereo domain. And they get pretty boring -in mono, especially when
you got a Lexicon (a few really good ones for really, really cheap
comparatively speaking to yester-year)

Plus being somewhat of an anal 'supreme audio quality idiot' and
having performed one too many times through Fender Twin Reverbs,etc
(with 20 grand in keyboards or such) - I have long since determined
that even my on-stage monitors be stereo. Its just too damn
depressing to have your $10K Kurzweil, Triton, etc.. coming out mono -
It drive me to pyschopathic proportions...and makes me want to kill
all guitarist and anybody else who can sound great via a mono signal
path!

I'll leave any discussiom on dolby 5.1 for a later date----lol

My 2 cents -
(Thats all I have left - after buying way too many toys.!!!)
