Just a Home Recorder
Thanks for the info BK, I found something out that I always wondered...
When would I listen to some oldies (mostly 60's), I'd hear the beat (instruments) panned hard left and vocals panned hard right, or vice versa. I always wondered "WHY THE HELL WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT!?!?" Come to find out that's when stereo took off when the norm was mono and there were no mixing guidelines. Most consoles didn't have faders for panning, instead a knob with "Left", "Right" and "Center".
I found that interesting but have always found the songs irritating. It makes things good for sampling though, I've sampled catch phrases from the channel the vocals were on and it was almost accapella. I've also sampled loops from the channel the instruments were on.
Thought I'd share that, and get at BK he has some good articles on hand.
