Van Halen's first album
Guitar and bass are panned wide and the guitar's reverb fills up the empty side.
No, that would just cause it to be panned to one side. When you pan a mono track, that is exactly what you are doing, lowering the volume on one side. In fact, there are parameters to control exactly how that is done called laws of panning. You choose different slopes for the volume drop.... Linear, 3db, exponential, etc. Well, maybe that was not an option in CoolEdit 10 years ago, but any decent contemporary DAW program will have it.For example is the difference of volume a stereo result?
The problem is that I have used two guitars (instead of one) + bass. The result is good if I use only one guitar + bass, cause when you try to pass the guitar on the opposite channel theres already another guitar there that will cover. ..
Trying to sort out exactally what you're saying the problem is. As in when 'two guitars' is the same part double tracked, one for each side? (as opposed to 'solo on one side 'rhythm on the other?
From the screenshot of the software he's using, it seems that there isn't the ability to pan things. I just saw "presets"...
...Can you PAN in your mixer software???
Play the rhythm part twice. Once on the left and once on the right.
Play the solo part and pan it to the center.
That is the way it is done, that's the way it has been done for decades.
Listen to To Hell With The Devil. There are two rhythms hard panned behind the harmony leads, which are slightly panned away from center. However, the actual solos are all panned center, even though they are trading leads at that point. Same thing on the In God We Trust album.Hmm... something for me to consider. I have been placing my "lead guitar player" panned, in creating the feel of a band with 2 guitarists. I am pretty sure I have heard bands with 2 prolific guitarists do something like this, certainly when they are playing double leads (or leads with interchanging parts). I guess big influence for me on that is Stryper.

Soldiers Under Command did the panned solo thing, but there were still two rhythms panned wide underneath them.
