Lets make up a mixing problem. Lets say you are recording an artist and he wants a certain intrument to come out of both speakers at the same time. What do you do? If you put the same exact sound in all the speakers (this is the same for surround sound) it will appear to come from phantom center.

So when you are hard panning mics it is actually beneficial to have a phase difference. Of course this doesn't fold down into mono well at all but who cares?
Do you understand what I was asking, re phasescope? and also can you explain "folding to mono" and when it occurs, how I use it, and why out of phase is good when hard panning, thanks
