5 Panning Tricks Featured:
1. Pan Affected Source Opposite Of The Dry Source For More Stereo Width
2. Create 'Ear Candy’ and additional movement With FX and Panning
3.Create Excitement With Automating Panning On Harmonies
4. Panning Cymbal FX For More Excitement
5. Using Panning To Differentiate A Section Of A Song
I wrote this song with the singer of the band “Little Empire.” I wrote this song and recorded it at the same time. It is one of the most simplistic songs I think I’ve written and recorded in years. Not necessarily the writing of it. Melodically, it’s quite interesting. I’ve got kind of a dark Police 9th chord going through it all the time. But the production is INSANELY simple.
We did this song in no time. Not that we were rushed, it’s just simple. For example, the drums have no cymbals!

Panning Tip #6- Pan music to the front of the car as to not wake the sleeping kids in the back! Step 2, enjoy the drive! haha!
Would love to see a video on how you tackle mixing upright bass, especially together with guitars. There’s always a fight in the lower mids which I have a hard time getting right...
It took me watching it several times before I fully understood it.
Thank you so much for your sharing ^^

Guitar 1
- 50% Left
- Sends to Reverb on that is 100% Right
Guitar 2
-Duplicate of Guitar1 with 1/64 delay
- 100% Right
-Volume is lower than Guitar1
-You can add a little modulation to help with phasing
-No Reverb on Verses
At the chorus
- Guitar 1 goes 100% left
- Guitar 2 is already 100% right, but starts sending to reverb 100% left.
- Guitar 2 volume comes up to fill some space
TRICK 2: Subtle, Percussive Ear Candy
-Take a drum loop
-Distort the crap out of it
-Make it flip flop between hard left and hard right.
-Put it on the choruses.
TRICK 3: Vocals
- Chorus Backing vocals are panned to 30% Left/Right
- At the final chorus, they go wider.
TRICK 4: Cutting stuff out
- Bass and Second Guitar cut out
- Main Guitar gets centered.
- Width is lost for a section so that it is more surprising when it comes back.
TRICK 5: Cymbal Sample Trick
- Reverse Cymbal
- Pan goes from Left to Right as the Cymbal fades in.
TRICK 6: Guitar Stereo Tremelo-esque effect
- maually automate panning between hard-left and hard-right on a section.
- Stereo reverb to make the flip/flop a little less sharp.
