How do YOU pan?

Just wondering how everyone pans their drums and sounds. Any formula really working for you these days?

Tough question. What I try to do is use as many various sources including plutonium and water-containing trash used in Mr. Fusion to generate the needed 1.21 gigawatts (pronounced "jiggawatts") to power the critical component which helps activate the flux capacitor that will pan the selected channel or drum.dubz wrote:Just wondering how everyone pans their drums and sounds.

-just the pan option
-2 mono signals who are the same. Eq left different then right
-sample delay (Delay less then 40 ms *watchout for phase problems*)
-pan the send reverbs/delays/fx

Question: Ableton has 50% left and right panning. Other programs got 100%. The "50%" really is 100%....right?

God knows why, but it never crossed my mind to pan things. Fail.
My tracks are all in total mono

To make space for sounds with similar frequencies
While thinking about a visual representation of where each sound sits in the sound stage. For example if the 'drum kit' is in the back, the individual drums will be less panned than instruments at the front of the stage.
Ignoring the above and with complete abandon, things whizzing everywhere, for fun and SFX.

you could try thinking that the tonal center of your track could be panned to the middle, and the melody that falls or rises from that root be panned accordingly.
left center right
180 000 180
C1 C2 C3
G1 G2
visualise a set of wind chimes and think how the pitch rises (or falls) from left to right.
laid out this way, eq'ing isn't a hit or miss affair, after all, pitch is only a precise frequency.

Personally I like to pan my hats left and right once or twice in a bar just for effect.
But lots of people follow a drum kit. Pretend your sitting at one; Bass in the middle, snare a bit right, hats to the left, ect.

I sometimes add an lfo to hats pan...

when i do my drums...I make 2 copies of each audio channel: kick, snare, hats, etc. randomly I'll make one of the snares pan right or left....and the hats will have some more serious automation on them equal left and right panning in the beginning of the tune then go wild with automating.
it's fun lol......

like low sweep on right, high pass on left
rape some headphones and aural canals

I *usually* have
kicks in mono (so in the middle), snares with some stereo seperation and bang in the middle . I usually have a few different hat/shaker/perc lines, so I put one lot a little to the left, then other to the right.
With fx and random type sounds that occur a few times in a track, I put a Panomatic on them (basically LFO linked to pan). Often with a quick setting so that the move across the stereo field in one go.
hmmm. slight bit of flanger on the hats is an old dub technique which also helps with movement.
