Precisely.

I have used it to manipulate the perceived placement of the kit. Whether, it is ridiculously wide or claustrophobicly ( don't think this is a word ) tight.

My initial intention was to alter the kit from an audience perspective, not the inverse. I, personally, am aversed to presenting a peice from the drummer's perspective. It doesn't sound right to me-for most applications, anyway.

I am not certain as to the origins of its' use, regarding the live performance question. I understand it as a formula and its' relation to time, electing to apply it in the most pragmatic way.
