Hi Stephanie ,
Sometimes its good to hear different angles of panning, such as a b3 effect.
It seems like all your keyboards already has a panning feature that you can
hear in your head phones.
When I'm either sitting or riding I like to check out a mix from a
prerecorded track, and listen to some automated mixes such as panning EQ,
and effect changes.
Its really up to your imagination.
To answer your question, I think panning at various degrees such as 25
percent left or 45 percent right is good, depending on how much sound you
want out of each speaker. I like to think about how I would look hearing a
drummer facing the drums.
Placement is sometimes a good thing, and in my case of playing b3 organ, I
like the stereo effect of two lessleys, even though I only have 1.
 
                    James

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
