How You Should Pan Your Tracks When Mixing - RecordingRevolution.com

Hi Gram. I am just starting out to mix and master my own song. Thanks for the tutorial. It helped a lot.

Thank you 👍

what's the effect when you put the left panning knob all the way to the right and the right panning knob all the way to the left?
thanks in advance

Pro tools is a good DAW but it's somewhat weird. Logic Pro is much more transparent.

Would you be able to do a video on copywriting your song's? Many thanks :)

Love your pdf . Gonna read all carefully

Just watched this again (I think after watching it before some time ago), and just as helpful this time around! Been trying to figure out how to have a fuller mix as well as if there are cases where tracks aren't exactly LCR, and this answered that! Thanks Graham, the Lord bless you!

Thank you for this information.

I'm afraid of frequencies start to compete with each other in the mix.

So I followed your video about mixing in Mono. Worked a treat..... so now are you suggesting to now pan that Mono mix?

Thank you 🙏🏽

As a counter to the philosophy presented. Historically you keep bassy elements centred cause on vinyl the grooves spaz out otherwise. Go crazy panning everything else. You have 2 ears, use them. Or. Think of if you were watching a live performance. How it would translate sonically and tryn recreate that. So (depending on if you take the stage or audience perspective) you pan the snare left or right, with toms on other side. Same with hats vs the ride.

having used ableton live lite for over a year (8 track limit). seeing a project with what feels like 100 or more tracks in insane to my eyes

I suggest while doing this checking mono compatibility.

Thank you

Thanks I need to listed too this program over & over to gets a full understand

Great tutorial, thanks for posting

Where is the LOVE button??? This was so helpful. I know when I can "hear" something different, but you have used terminology and shown example that makes it all come together in my brain. Thank you!!

bass is omnidirectional in the real world. keep it there in the middle in the mix to sound like a real bass wave.

I programmed some drums in Hydrogen. When I bounced, all the tracks came out in stereo. When I imported them to PT, I deleted half of those tracks, and then panned them as I had mic'ed them from a real drum kit.

why pro tools has 2 knob for the pan? I use another DAW and I don't understand its law pan

Thank you so much for this teaching. I am a beginner learning to record my own songs

This is awesome. Thank you.

good job!

Hey Graham, you're an excellent teacher and this tutorial was really helpful. You're clear, concise and easy to listen to. Thanks for the generous tips!

You are fantastic! Thank you for everything 😀

my tracks are panned since day one

Brilliant video! Thank you 🙏

Hi virtual teacher, which DAW do you use more?

How come when your panning the toms the high tom is left and mid-low toms right ?? Are we assuming its a left handed kit?? Because when u listen to music if you close your eyes and pretend the band is in front of you the toms would actually roll right/centre/left !!! Am i wrong ??

❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So should i EQ before panning?

I started on a Fostex 4 track and track 3 was always striped with SMPTE timecode so the sequencer would follow. Yeah so 3 tracks for audio. Common sense was required back in those days

You are soooooo good bro - thx for this video 💎🎵🎵🎵

To pan a stereo track I use 'Time Adjuster' (AVID stock plugin) to trim L / R sides independently, thereby acquiring the "Pan" effect. I find that approach meaningful over those two pan knobs of pro tools, which changes the direction of sound, overlapping original sides thereby destroying any existing stereo image.

Hey Graham, I've been devouring your lessons the last couple days and learning SO much. So thank you! Quick q: if I'm mixing in mono, at what point should I pan?

Thank you Graham. I haven't used any reference before, I'm really gonna start that

what song is this? was is completed? id like to listen to final version.

The title implies the poster has found some solution to a problem vexing mixers everywhere. How silly. What’s next? Maybe, “how you should write your songs”.

this is good.

Another damn auto-tuned dumpster-fire, into the trash with the rest of them.

Very helpful vid. Thank you!

Kept waiting for guitars. Waiting and waiting. Nope. That’s why so much music sounds so generic. It’s all just electronic except the vocals. Good overview. Tell the artist about this thing called a guitar. 🤓

What’s the name of this song and who is the artist?

Cant say I am exclusive with either I do both pending on what i am looking to achieve

My DAW has stereo plugin. Very useful. You can make video on stereo plugins an how you like to use them. I mean the plugins which delay the signal on the left or right and make things sound stereo.

Thank You so much Sir, you have helped me a great deal!!!!
