[QUOTE="joetama, post: 3371436, member: 564641"] I don't think you understand how recordings today are made. Bands/artists don't sit the entire band in a room with one microphone and call it a day, unless you are listening to bluegrass or another form of music where they still adhere to music old recording traditions. A lot of the time artists will be in completely different rooms. The reason that they do this is so that the mix engineer can mix the instrument with out having bleed over from another instrument. IE it is hard to mix a vocal inside a small room with an electric guitar behind it playing full tilt. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals are placed where you hear them by the mix engineer and producer. You are correct that some Techno doesn't have good imaging and a lot of the time just uses hard pan effects. This is either done because the artist doesn't have the skill or knowledge to do this or there is no point to since the music will be played in a club or venue where stereo imaging is not a top priority. If you don't believe electronic music can not have good imaging or sound stage I think you should go out and buy the following albums.
