    For christmas, Santa brought me the "English Horn" besides a LOT of other 35% reduced stuff,
    And of course, Wagnerian as I am minded, I tried to tackle the problem of "Tristan".
    When you have an instrument played at stage and wandering around, how do you handle this with IR/Convolution?
    The source is moving, not the mic' . What would be the approach?
    Dietz talked about MIR and recording it on a moving sledge, but what if the instrument itself is moving?
    I tried to emulate it with some different mic positions and blending, but it is not a "stage" feeling (using pristine space and impulse modeller)
    Any new ideas?

    While we would be able to achieve the desired effect with the MIR, we decided to skip the option of moving sources for now. It's just too much for the beginning, regarding the need for interpolation, dynamic rotation of the intrument's polar pattern, and so on.

    I think you _could_ get quite convincing results with a combination of synthetic reverb and convolution, though. Try a short Google-search; I seem to remember a dedicated software-tool for spatial movements of audio signals. Blending these results with convolution-reverb of the "corner-stones" might do the trick.
