[QUOTE="Veggie Dave, post: 345918, member: 4016"] If you listen to stereo jazz recordings you'll find each instrument is usually given its own large space within the stereo spectrum. For example, drums centre, bass off-centre piano on the right, sax on the left. Most of the time you'll probably not notice how widely spaced the instruments are until you put headphones on. Of course, the same is true for all professionally recorded music - you have to have separation otherwise you have audio mush. And that's before you use reverb to create different depths for each instrument. ;) Since rediscovering the joys of recording I've realised that, unlike pretty much everything else in recording, spacing instruments is the one thing that you can't have too much of. Okay, that's not quite true - I wouldn't recommend you have the drums panned from hard left to hard right, for example. ;) Definitely. It doesn't have to be perfectly central, though. For example, if you've got the bass panned to 15% to the right, then pan the sax 15% to the left. There are no rules, though. If you think it sounds right, then it is right. [/QUOTE]
