    Piano panned hard L and R, does it cover things in the centre?

    I have and will be mixing alot of music for piano and voice. The piano has 2 mics and the voice 1. If I pan the piano hard L and R and get a nice phantom center, will this effectively sound like its coming out of the center and inhibit my vocal? Or do we somehow hear the piano coming from...

    Outboard compression gives a more full sound?

    I was looking at the wave forms of 'Time out of Mind' (Bob Dylan, Daniel Lanois producer) and the files still had dynamic range but weren't totally squashed or even near the 0db point. The music has a very present and intense (loudish) sound. In some recordings I have done, I have had more...
