Question

True or False: Mixers should intentionally have more dB/loudness panned to one side over the other to create musical interest.

True
False

Answer 1

False. Mixers typically aim for a balanced stereo image where sounds are panned effectively without an intentional bias toward one side unless it serves a specific artistic purpose. While creative panning can enhance musical interest, it should not disproportionately favor one side without reason, as this may lead to an unbalanced mix.
