A reduction in volume as appropriate for the set distance should also help. A time delay only is not sufficient to properly tune the soundstage. it certainly works better for some songs than others.

It's mostly suited to center non-continuous tones that exist at the same level on both L & R channels. It doesn't work well for in-sync tones of a different pitch, nor for continuous tones. For example, using a long test tone, this patch shouldn't affect the perceived soundstage.

The end result of applying delay only, is that you have sound sources that are equidistant, except the one with the delay has a perceptually louder volume. It's similar to having a pair of loudspeakers each 10 feet away from you with the balance shifted to the left.A reduction in volume as appropriate for the set distance should also help.
