Re: [Logic_Cafe] Re:Stereo or mono

This is a common method... the live band on stage thing. But a live rock 
band, has a guitar on one side and bass on the other and drums in the middle. That 
wouldn't sound good on a record. Usually bass is in the middle, drums are 
spread (kick in middle but high toms and cymbols on the sides), and guitars are 
often doubled and on both sides.

So I think in terms of balance too. I don't want a huge sound coming out of 
one side but not the other.

If you listen to the early beatles LP's they did pan things severely - like 
vocals on the left and instruments on the right. but no one does that today. 
one reason is that the bass takes a lot of energy so to get it loud, it needs to 
come out of both speakers rather than just one. also the lower and more 
elemental things like kick, snare and vocals are front and center, while the tingly 
things are dancing at the edges to give some movement.

This is why its a headache for me to record acoustic guitar in stereo. it 
seems to sound flat in mono, but it starts getting so complicated in stereo.
