EDIT: See this reply below for how I saved this recording from total disaster.http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=190611.msg2300814#msg2300814Please let me know if there is some sort of phase-inversion sum/difference way to rescue this, or if I'm screwed.
I made a recording tonight with CM3s > FP24 > M10. What I failed to check were there stereo panning switches. I
always have these switched L and R, but the last time I used my FP24 was the first and only time I used it with a set of PA mics that I needed to be summed mono and sent out to the left channel. Of course, I forgot to check those switches, and loading up my track tonight, I discover to my horror that each channel of the M10 recorded an equal mix of the two mics, because that's what I sent it from the FP24.
I started wondering if there was a way to process this with a phase-inverted copy of each channel. I'm hoping someone tells me there's a way to recover the stereo information, but it's doubtful.
This is a recording I made for a friend's choir, and there is a backup rig he had going in the balcony so it won't be a total loss. I'm so pissed at myself for forgetting to check the channel switches! This is one of the worst recording screw-ups I have ever made. Lesson learned!
