What is panning in music and audio recording and production, and how can you use it to add variety and interest to your songs?

In this video, we explain what panning is all about. Panning is the balancing of stereo audio between the left and right channels, creating a spread of sound from left to right. We cover what sounds and instruments usually sit in each part of the stereo spectrum and some of the general "rules" of panning.
