Track/song Separation

Ok I’m somewhat new to all this. However can ask if a track like say Pink Floyd’s SORROW and I’m hearing Gilmours lead in both speakers is that because of poor track recording separation from equipment or speakers or both of it together? That’s just 1 example of course… Now everyone with “real” setups let me know ur thoughts, please…thank you!

    May be just placement. If you have large objects like an entertainment center in between you can break down that stereo image or soundstage. Could be a component in the chain too.

    Toe speakers in or out can resolve the issue. Several factors.

    Can you provide a little more information about your gear and placement

    I am not familiar with that particular track, but I'd ask what it sounds like if you move, say, 10 feet back from the two loudspeakers, dead-center? If the guitar is mixed to be dead center, the sound level of it would be more or less equal in both the L an R loudspeaker. "Up close", you'd hear both, equally, and might miss the stereo "trick" of a central image created from two discrete channels.

    Loudspeakers with decent "imaging", properly placed in a reasonably empathetic acoustic environment, would (should!) render a nice, centered, more or less holographic "image" of the guitar.

    PS I am assuming that you're asking about a plain-vanilla two-channel (stereo) mix.
