Been reading the Stephen Desper thred and i came across this interesting technique for recording vocals but,for the life of me,i just can't get a grip on it.How do you record something using CDTD?I know it's been covered in Sthepen's book.I tried to contact Mr.Desper to buy the book but he is not answering my e-mails.Can anyone help me on this matter?

Thank you

I'll repost this here, in case anybody else cares:

First of all, it's CTDT, Common  Time-Domain Tracking.
 
 I think you're confusing this with his Spatialier technology in terms of it's the spatialier that gives things 3-D sound.
 
 The CTDT is just a stereo mic-ing technique used when you're doing staggered tracking but you want a little more cohesive stereo sound.
 
 Say you want to record a horn section, but you can only afford to hire one guy.  Instead of recording him in mono 5 times playing two trumpet parts and three sax parts, you set up an XY overhead situation, like you were going to record a 5-piece horn section in stereo.  You set up 5 chairs, still pretending that five people will be sitting in them at the same time.  The horn player will then be recorded 5 seperate times in stereo, moving from chair to chair each time.
 
 I suppose you could even close mic each part, and then bring in the stereo composite as well.
 
 But yeah, that's alll it is.
