Depends really on the content. If the 1st order material has some dominant discrete sources then an upmixing process such as Harpex can be the right thing. If it's diffuse ambience or reverb then just mixing it in (with some control of W vs XYZ gain) will give better results. Some dominance can help in that case as well. In the end it's an artistic matter, as are so many things when mixing or mastering. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
