Here's my advice, don't pan really hard. Imagine that you are in a big concert
hall with an orchestra playing. It would be a little strange if something was
over all the way to the left/right, and you just couldn't hear them out of the
other ear. I think it's almost impossible. So try to stay within the far-left
to far-right range, but never go hard-left or hard-right. There's one
exception. If you say, have a violin and a viola playing the same thing, you
could try to pan then hard left and hard right to get a fuller sound.

Subject: [ddots-l] Thoughts on panning?
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
