| Aug 10, 2015 at 15:22 | comment | added | dwoz | panning is a CORE technique to add separation and intelligibility to a mix. Every single method you might employ has distinct downsides, each is a compromise. I firmly believe that frequency carving and ducking (sidechain compression) have far more potential to cause issues than panning. | |

My reply was more or less: I think your answer (suggesting panorama as unique solution) has more potential of making the situation worse than to improve it, and it completely ignores the masking happening within the panorama. I talked about that in my first comment. | |

| Nov 4, 2014 at 18:10 | comment | added | TaylorSwiftFan5932 | My answer assumes stereo, all suggestions but one (I suggested panorama too) apply to both mono and stereo. Panorama is rarely the unique solution, though, because 1) mono mix will get actually worse (and a lot of systems still use mono, specially clubs, bars, and most live setups) 2) unless headphones are being used, the elements will be mixed back again acoustically 3) masking can happen in both the mid and side region 4) ideally you want panorama as a design, as a carving, not as a patch (just to name a few). | |
