i'll just chime in to say that doing some of these things in a daw --- specifically, the center-cancellation trick and the very-short-panned-delays trick --- will not produce the same results as doing it in the analog domain.
with short delays, the daw will sum them and produce a very metallic, comb-filtered sound, at least to my ears. and as for mono, or mix minus mono, again, the computer just doesn't yield the same results. daw mono is not as punchy as analog mono, and daw mix-minus-mono doesn't reveal the same level of hidden details.
i have no good explanation for any of this, it just seems like one of the areas where digital still comes up short.
