Question 1
I've been making music for awhile now, still learning as I go but one problem i'm still having is trying to keep my hard left and hard right pans in one spot.
Say I have an acoustic guitar part and I pan that to the right...it sounds fine but when I make another channel and put another in and pan it left it feels like they both get sucked into the middle. I read on another post on the right pan try a delay of 10-15, that seems to clear things up somewhat but still not quite. So I tried to put a little flanger on the left side although these seem to help it's not seperating them like i envision. So each side feels balanced and doesn't go into the middle. Does each side left and right have to be equid opposite of eachother to fit?
I read also something about m/s..which I have no clue what it is but some of my plugs in waves have it, problem is FL studio which I'm using won't recognize anything with the m/s thing on it.

Is it better when your eqing sounds to use tiny gouges of maybe -8 or so and move through the spectrum to tweak or to use wide gouges? I found sometimes just for one kick I could use 2 or more 10 band eq paremetrics using small gouges with barely getting the results I want. I was messing around with a 3 band and found I could shape the sound to how I wanted it much easier using really wide gouges. I read somewhere awhile back that it's better to have everything rounded in your eq is this right? That may be my problem cause using tiny cuts things tended to look jaged.
