could someone give me a lil' bit of insight on panning. Right now i'm recording a trio for some music to be done at a funeral. any tips would be appreciated, if needed i'llt ry to post some of the music. of course its all cover material, but hey who really writes funeral songs lol.
 
Panning is good and makes things go left or right.

Is there something more specific you were curious about?
 
Be creative. You should try and give everything its own space in the mix, in terms of panning, but also in terms of EQ and dynamics. A lot of people (here and elsewhere) will try and give you a list of rules for "WHERE THINGS GO." Don't believe them. Use your ear, and find what you think sounds right. Listen to albums you (or your client) are fond of, and figure out where things are panned. If you like it, do it. For myself, I highly recommend anything which has been mixed by Tchad Blake. He is very unconventional about how he pans, but also very creative. But mostly, listen to albums YOU like, and use what you hear there.

its a trio of singers at church...the lead is sung by my girlfriend, tenor is done by another guy, and i'm throwing in the baritone parts. I've been reading the forums alot and just noticed that panning has came up alot in some of the threads i've been reading...i just am eager to learn to make the songs sound good. I'm gonna be taking a studio recording class coming up this fall semester at college, so i'm sure i'll learn more, but sometiems "trial and error with a lil' info" is the funniest way to learn ha
 
I would try putting the Bari in the middle and the other two at 2 and 10 o'clock.. That is what I think I would do. But there is a ton of combination that would work just play around with it.. I would love to hear a short clip when you get it done!
