I guess my point is that while using the pan pot function to create those recordings would work, it would take forever to dial it in that specific when you can use a stereo pair to achieve the same effect more accurately without fiddling with knobs.
Also placing said mics beside a round object (like a dummy head) to block the sound waves from direct access. If they are omi mics this tech would be handy.

I closed my eyes listening to it and I'll tell you from a man who has not needed a barber for 3 years... It was wonderful!!! Thanks ricosuave!!
