Panning

[Tangled Wires]

I have a song currently recorded with 4 tracks on (Acoustic guitar, lead guitar, bass and electric rythm) and have panned each one alternately left and right (i have set the pan at 30 for each track)

These four tracks have been bounced to two tracks in order that I can add some keyboards and vocals, and would appreciate any advice on the following:-

a) Do vocal tracks get panned just one way, or do you double track them and pan one to the left and one to the right?

b) Should the keyboards be panned just one way?

c) My two bounced tracks were panned before they were bounced, so do I need to pan these again?

Thanks

a)Most people keep the lead vocals centered.
b)That's really a matter of personal preference.
c)No

Good luck!  Post a copy when you're done.  We'd all love to hear it!
