Beppe,
Recording is step one, postprocessing is step 2, here things go wrong in the wrong hands. If you want more soundstage, ambiance and that kind of things rip a favorite track to the computer and enhance it with AUDACITY or any other digital processor with reverb, delay, echo, compression, to much to mention, and burn it on CD-r. Very interesting. Or buy a digital soundprocessor, very cheap nowaday's or use the line-in and line-out of a junkyard homecinemaset, all kinds of ambiance possebility's at hand, you can experiment what you want and makeup your mind if this is what you want.
Postprocessing is now in your own hands, I use it for my piano recordings when someones wants his own CD. Just recording sounds very dry and some compression is necessary otherwise dynamics are to big for replay on non high end gear.

That's an artificial non-factual, poorly conceived way of recreating a false "soundstage" which will sound false in any decent system ... totally unrelated to the recreation of any soundstage based on the actual recorded event.
you're confused ...

Reading my post is not your strongest ability.
It is a suggestion for Beppe to play around and to establish what he is looking for. He can be his own engineer. I have lots of fun creating own recordings of my guests on the piano with the aid of Audacity. And I only want other people to have fun also, in Beppes case to set his mind at ease and give him some insight in recording and postprocessing.
Again you were premature in your reply. Glad you're not my neighbour.

That's the problem with most recordings: recreation of the soundstage, that doen't exist anymore, only on special vintage recordings or some demonstration stuff. It's almost ALWAY's a false artificial soundstage made by some "engineer" to please the taste of the moment, to comply to the newest fad (surround etc). Ever listened to recordings from 1930 up to now ? Every year a new sound artificially made by postprocessing. Listen to the variety of echochambers, the copycats thereafter. Sound for sound's sake.
Dynamic compression on hardrock, grunge is not for technical reasons, it's a stylistic approach for the kids, they think it's cool. Remove the compression and there is nothing left, just amateurs.
Happy listening, have a nice weekend.
