I don't think it's possible, at least with either DPL2 or Neo 6, to make a 2 channel recording sound good in MC. Hell, there are plenty of bad mc recordings that were discretely mixed! Combine this with the fact that there aren't many mc recordings to begin with and you can see why people haven't jumped on the bandwagon.

However, if you liked Peter Gabriel, you should try Floyd's DSOTM, one of the best mc recordings I've heard.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your experience.
