Binaural to Stereo

I record live music using Sound Pro binaural mics through a Sound Pro mic amp into a minidisc.  pretty standard.  And depending on the room and the sound guys skill I get some fine recordings.  But they are binaural and while they sound great using earphones they are a bit muffled on open speakers.

There seems to be a few plugins that will do Stereo to Binaural but is it even possible to process a binaural recording so it sounds less diffuse on speakers.

If there are no player plugins, how might I process the wav file in Audition 2.  Even if I have to lose the stereo effect

I don't know how to do what you want to do with Audition, but...

I have always read that if you place omnidirectional mics forward of your ears (like clipped to glasses near your temple) it sounds good on both headphones and speakers.  I have used this method and find that it does sound good on speakers, but doesn't give you that feeling of 'being there' like when you put the mics in your pinnae and use headphones.

thanks.  it may come to that but it isn't quite a stealthy 

though you can occasionally hear me being asked if I'm deaf or security so that may not be as big a problem as I imagine.

Stereophonic sound is recorded for reproduction over spaced-apart loudspeakers. When earphones are substituted for loudspeakers the stereophonic space perspective is incorrectly portrayed. This paper describes two electrical networks which allow earphones to ube used in place of loudspeakers without substantial loss of space perspective. One of them is designed to work from low impedance sources and feed into high impedance earphones. The second, which is a dual of the first, is more suited to medium impedance sources and low impedance earphones. It is pointed out that these networks can also be used to convert a binaural program for reproduction over a stereophonic loudspeaker system. This is done by reversing the phase of one amplifier channel and of the corresponding loudspeaker.

from here. So there is a way, but the article costs $20, I haven't read it yet.
