Are your toms panned wide or close to center in the stereo mix? I'd be tempted to pan them wider if they are used fairly often, and keep your rhythm guitars in fairly tight (+/- 15), then see where the lead guitar should sit outside the rhythms. You could put a sample delay on the lead which will counter balance the lead on the opposite side, or send the verb or delay return from the lead to the opposite side if you're not digging the asymmetry the panned lead is creating.
I don't like the idea of panning bass myself, though. I'd work at making room for the kick and bass in the center via eq and possibly "ducking" the bass with the sidechained kick signal.
Good luck.
They are panned wide in the mix. Will place a delay on lead, should I re-record the lead with delay pedal or just keep the distorted guitars and add delay in the mix? Also I have noticed there is a slight variation between the recorded rhythm guitars, I re-recorded them all again today and the same thing happened again. Its one of those human nuances, listening to it sounds like a slight delay, its still in time with the drums ect. I tried just copy/paste one of the rhythm tracks and then panning them, but didn't like the feel as it sound too perfectly generated, in other words, a straight copy/paste. I rather keep the human nuances in it. It sounds kinda cool on headphones the panned rhythm guitars variation. Thanks for the tips so far.
Another question, if there is a left and right hand recorded bass part, should they be placed in the mixed around 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock so the kick drum sits in center?
