'True stereo' is, of course, marketing BS.
You may argue that I suffer
from over-exposition to commercial environments; I concur. :)
Dattorro's plate reverb of Griesinger type also feeds the M = L+R
signal to the main reverberator. However, that may not be a good
idea if L and R will sound bad when summed. When summing is done
that way, only the bad signal is going on inside the reverb. Nothing
turns it good.
How can the mixdown sound bad?
Are you suggesting that L + R might suffer from phase cancellation?
If so, I do not share your anxiety; neither do Mr Dattorro and Mr
Griesinger it seems.
Cheers, Tim
