[QUOTE="Colin the Bear, post: 345945, member: 2360"] Headphones will not give a true representation of the mix imo. When two instruments play, in the room, the harmony happens in the room. Many jazz tracks have different front line instruments panned hard right and hard left. On headphones it sounds a bit odd but in the room it lets the harmony happen in a more realistic way. I like the drums central, Bass maybe panned 20 left, Piano 20 right, if there's a guitar or other rhythm instrument a little further out than the piano. For two guitars and no piano I like them panned right and left maybe a little outside the bass. Lots of the BiaB groups you can select for rhythm section are already panned for position. I like to adjust the tone and volume of each member of the rhythm section to suit the feel of the piece I'm working on too. It's all very personal. You'll find how you like it and develop your own style. The tracks I use for gigs are played through a mono playback system, so it gets a little academic for me :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
