i have started reading The Mixing Engineer's Handbook and in chapter four i've found a problem which i don't understand it. Will write down the specific context maybe it'll be more clear to you. " So important elements like that i keep up in the middle or maybe like at 10:30 and 1:30" - DAvid Sussman about panning in dance music. What does he mean by 10:30 or 1:30 ?

In another thread someone asked, "Why would you pan things in a live mix? It seems to me all this would accomplish is different parts of the audience hearing differenct mixes...and this doesn't seem like a good idea..." I thought it would be good to start a new thread on this subject.

Hey all- stuck here in a clogged up mix. anyone have any pointers for getting brass in a country song?

song specs:
kinda johnny cashish vox (okay VERY Johhny cash singing)
swing brushed drumming (Low fi)
bass panned 12 o clcok
2 acoustic guiatr tracks, each panned L and R and doubled
sampled strings panned stereo

Hello-
Need some help...I'm looking for a stand alone panning device for surround mixes on my pro tools rig. I've found one from sweetwater...is this a good one?
Any other suggestions or ideas?

thanks.

I am new to using an analog mixing console, so anyone who might be able to help me I would really appreciate it.

Guys..I'm having a practise mixing here.. I recorded a local rock band (they sounded like alterbridge/creed).

Here's my DRUM TRACK PANNING.

KICK - center
SNARE - center
HATS - center
TOM1 - 30% R
TOM2 - 30% L
FLTOM- 50% L
OHEAD L - 100% L
OHEAD R - 100% R

is this ok? or not?

So...recently i have overcome a horrible latency problem thanks to the help on here :) (blasted audio latency)

Now though, i have one baffling little thing hindering my recording...

I use Hypersonic through Nuendo 2, i can triggle all the vst fine and everything sounds great although it is all panned hard right

Regarding Vocals, but also pertaining to other instruments.
I was reading the book Total Recording, by Dave Moulton, and he speaks of sweet'ning the phantom image using delay lines.(Center/Lead vocal with a floating image(so to speak)). As well as panning, using delay, instead of the pan function.

I'm just doing some very basic recordings for some joke songs but i was wondering how when I'm listening to pro recordings the same guitar seems to come from wide both sides as opposed to the center.

Hi... I'm using Cubase LE, and I have about 8 tracks set up, and everything's in order the way I want it, regarding volumes and panning. However, I've tried to export to mixdown a few times, and I'm realizing that each time I do this, the panning isn't incorporated, and everything seems centered. What am I missing here?
