If the beat frequency is audible, it will be on the recording. Obviously.

That would suppose that the recording device precisely matched the orientation of the listener, and the recording was not created digitally in (multi-track fashion for example). There would have to be air space in order for the interference pattern to set up in.

So you'd be right if your mics were head spaced and in the venue. But you'd still have secondary data, with the original lost.

    By that standard, the original is always lost unless you have a completely holographic recording. 192kHz doesn't help with that problem at all.
