Panning 2 guitar tracks

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Hi Guys

I recorded a tune with 2 guitar tracks one panned to the left speaker and
one to the right. I've never tried something like this before. Sometimes I
played the same thing, sometimes I tried to harmonise them, but I didn't
wanna just blast them out of both speakers.

Just wanted an opinion on the sound of the recording using this method, in
terms of mix and any other recommodations that you may have.

One of these links should work, unless soundclick is having an off day.

Sorry, but then if I put the kit to the left, the strings on the right
and the brass opposite and every thing else into the middle, a la neil
diamonds "sweet Caroline". Is that binaural mono or stereo?
The guitars end up in a stereo mix.
I find stereo gtrs can sound washy in a mix. 2 mono gtrs spread works
better,they sound punchier and its easier to fit them in a mix. I
sometimes mix in distant mics but I'd rather go in and move one mic.
rather than try and EQ 2 close mic.s or ones on different speakers by
phase differences.
I'll stop now.
