Stephanie:
THere is no hard and fast rule for this.  A lot will depend on what other 
instrumentation is going on in your project.  In many cases, I will  put two 
rhythm guitar tracks at around 50% of either side, but I have never been a fan 
of extreme panning since there are too many listening stuations where you will 
not find yourself in the "sweet spot."

  While I think the effects of panning are really cool, I'm curious to know 
what other people think of this question.  If you are creating music that might 
be listened to using headphones, what is the most extreme panning you would 
use?  For instance, if you have two electric guitar tracks or drum tracks, and 
you want to highlight the interplay between them by placing them on opposite 
sides of the mix, how far to the left and right is too far?

  Thanks for any ideas.

  Stephanie
