Do ye? And one channel or two?

I tend to go for non-panned, one channel per break (sometimes doubling up because of limited availability of compressers...), but I'd be curious to hear of what others of yez do...

never in Dnb do i pan my beats but when making Jazz or Rock based stuff you can get more varied and creative.....
suggest don't do it — I can't think of a single record in which panning didn't sound naff Roll
panning or panned?

the use of panned beats in Jazz or Rock productions can sound amazing!!
actually i did a track on Southern Session called Insomnia and that has panning beats!!!

subtle but panning none-the-less...........

on a similar note, you may want to try separating kick, snare and perc to separate channels rather than one channel per break.....you'll find both approaches have benefit at different times....

big up the sneaky lunch time at BT cru
yeah man, never put kicks and snares down the same channel.......

they need isolation!!
Freaky - but makes sense insofar as they would have been originally have been recorded separately.......!

dillinja - sky!

dillinja - sky — well ok, these are pretty good panning drums Grin

goldie - jah the seventh seal — this panning is pretty lame i think — typical idiot on the mixing desk "what does this do?" rubbish Roll — maybe it works better on a club rig?

blue - insomnia — a nice track mr blue Grin — forgotten about this one — sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat, ???? (what's that last?) — but it's not what i'd call panning ... just things are flipped wide here and there — works well though Xyxthumbs

the sample is sleeplessness, rapid heartbeat, euphoria!!! taken from cronenbergs "deadringers" spoke by genevieve bujold.
