So I'm in a band with drums, bass and guitar. We're recording soon, and I'm contemplating how I should pan everything. Our genre would probably just be "rock," as its fairly heavy, but much of it is inspired by funk and jazz. The bass does a lot of slap, the guitar does a lot of hi chords on the neck.
I was thinking about panning the guitar a little left, and the bass a little right--they are each melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic in different parts of songs, and they often play off each other. My only issue is that, with the bass not hard center, the EQ might feel unbalanced, as much of the low end in the song would be juust right of center. Might sound... lopsided?
Note, however, that this bass track will have a little less low end than usual (not a heavy sub bass), and more mid and treble. It will be able to stand better sonically as its own instrument. More of a chili peppers / led zeppelin tone.
So my question. I have an idea of how to do this but i'm wondering if anyone has (A) an easy way to do it or (B) a reason why I shouldn't. Could I take the bass guitar, and split up the EQ so anything below like, 150hz is panned center, and everything above is panned a little to the right? My DAW is logic, but its probably a question that transcends daws. Thanks!
