Guitars: | Rhythm guitars are usually panned to either the 9 o'clock position |

| vocals. |
Keyboards: | If the keyboard is a stereo patch then you would pan one side all of |

| is a mono patch you would usually pan it opposite of any rhythm |
| guitars you may have. |
Vocals: | The lead vocals are almost always panned straight up the center. If |
| the background vocal is just a double of the lead vocal or is a single |
