I do pan instruments, many instruments, sometimes extremely (as in the case of "ping pong" delay kinds of effects) and sometimes not at all (obviously bass and Drums - although ironically, many keyboard drumkits - Toms/Percussion specifically - are panned in and of themselves).

So realistic or not, like it or not, some instruments are panned in ALL my sequences (in my Case) and I gave MUCH more attention to all the little Stereo field details than they deserve.

Why do I say that?

Because like I said (if you go back and re-read all my posts in this thread - and hey quote them if you like) you will see Stereo (for me, if you like) becomes MUCH less important in irregular venues and venues with side seating. It only has it's full effect on the dancefloor - and THAT'S assuming the dancefloor is directly in front of the speakers, which, as I have said before, is sometimes not the case.

Side seating IS in fact, usually too close to one stack or the other, I thought that was a given.

In the future I will be more careful with my erroneous posts, which are not erroneous at all, but rather not detailed/spelled out enough for yourself and others Diki.
