Here's a simple idea.
Here's a simple idea.
Offer the listener clear, clean inputs and let them construct the sonic image in the mixer of the mind. Toss the sound (of each performer) into a room with a single Cylindrical Radiator® and let the asymmetrical nature of the room produce the different sounds that suggest spaciousness. Let the listener combine this with visual cues and s/he can create a satisfying representation of the physical, in the non-physical realm of the mind.

==== Playing Live is Flawed - Oh so flawed ====
==== Playing Live is Flawed ====
Performing live is inherently flawed. Setting aside the big shows where the performers may have some control of the environment, many of us walk into a multi-purpose space, set-up our gear, and hope for the best. We compete with less-than-optimal acoustics, strange sight lines, the roar of coffee grinders, people trying to order, the clatter of dishes, competing demands to turn it up and turn it down, put on a great show in the least amount of floor space with the ideal combination of minimal impact and optimum results.
