I'm getting ready to mix some tracks I recorded with my band (my first serious attempts at mixing full band tracks). The music is raw guitar based hard rock/punk. I know that in the end I'll listen and do what sounds best to me, but have a couple of questions about how you like to pan things and what works for you:
Drums - Wide or narrow spread? Panned from drummer's perspective or audience perspective? I used four mics (kick, snare, and two overheads). Any value in panning the kick slightly off center with the bass guitar slightly off to the other side?
Doubled (and in spots, harmonized) lead guitar lines. My inclination is to pan them maybe at 10 and 2 o'clock - but I'm sure I can be more creative than that in the end.
Thanks all.
