No offense but youre proving the old adage that a little knowledge can be dangerous. 99.9% of true stereo mixes (and even a great many mono mixes) are also not native and are exactly as you describe for multichannel mixes. They originate from multi-track recordings ranging from 2 tracks to a nearly infinite # of tracks these days - and then they are mixed down to mono, stereo, quad, 4.1, 5.1, 7.1, etc. This includes the vast, vast, vast majority of recordings made since the late 50s - including classical and live concert pop/jazz.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but your opinion seems to be rooted in non-fact. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64116 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102992
