When mixing, I like stereo tracks to be handled as 2 individual MONO tracks. It helps me define the 'width' of the stereo field for the tracks as well as the placement (and volume/EQ of the individual L/R signals).


"how far right-left a stereo piano track goes" is defined by the sample or recorded track(s), unless you separate them to MONO, then you can put L or R anywhere you want .. though you you are still stuck with how much of the L/R is bleeding between the two tracks.


That's a fine idea. I can hear it working best on tracks that aren't too wide. Even mono tracks rendered mono can be handled that way. Would it work on a stereo piano (high keys further and further right, low further and further left) or moving drums hits to still get that full spectrum?
