In this panning & stereo width tutorial, we cover:

1. Visualising your music as being played on a stage in front of you – that can be a great way to figure out where elements could be panned to sound good.

3. How to regularly check in stereo and mono.

4. Panning / Stereo width of bass frequencies (and why).

5. Using plugins to help with stereo width. For 10 ways to achieve insane stereo width, check out this post.
