I still think that if you don't like the width of a stereo mic'd instrument, you should fix that at tracking time, but I see the points you're making too.
I suppose you're right. Earlier when I said I might want other instruments to sit wider than the drums, it made sense,
but what you're saying makes sense too.
Like, if i pan 100% each way, it doesn't necessarily mean the kit will sound unnaturally wide. It's all about where I put the mics.
Cheers for opening this can of worms RAMI. I definitely got something out of it!
