Ok, so I'm pretty new to this. In my very little bit of experience recording and mixing I usually record all instruments in mono and then locate them somewhere in the stereo field. When I listen to a lot of other recordings, I hear some very nice interaction between the left and right on certain instruments indicating that maybe they were recorded in stereo. Either that or there are some "tricks" being played with effects (delay, reverb or sth). Or do people double instument parts (say acoustic gtr) and pan one L and one R with a slight delay or different strumming patterns or something.
I read something once that said you don't want to record all your instruments in stereo as you would have a harder time making space for all the instruments.
I know this sounds like a general ramble, but I don't know what the hell I'm doing and I want to get that nice sound I keep hearing. Any advice would be very helpful.

TIA for any thoughts
