I received an inquiry from a reader about drum panning: вЂњ I use GarageBand and the panning knobs only range from -64 to 64, not -100 to 100. Example drum panning techniques and calculations As long as the microphone placement and phase issues are considered. A real drum recording with several microphones in the stereo field does not necessary to be panned individually. It is because they can be individually panned. software-based such as from different drum sequencer).

The above settings works best for programmed drum loops (e.g. Ride cymbalвЂ“ вЂњ-12.5вЂќ panned to the left, this is the leftmost part of the drum set. Floor toom: вЂњ-6.25вЂќ, panned to the left and located in the physical center of the ride cymbal and the kick drum. Toom left: вЂњ-3.2вЂќ, the pair of the other toom but this one panned to the left. Toom right: вЂњ+3.2вЂќ, again very slightly off center to the right.ДЇ.

Crash cymbal: +9.375 rightвЂќ, it is located in the physical center between the snare drum and the hi hat.Д®. Pedal hi hat: вЂњ+12.5 rightвЂќ, this the farthest right of the drums.Д. Some engineers pan the snare to the center, but I do not recommend this since a significant frequency response of snare can drown the vocals.Д¬. It is because looking at the real drum it is located in the physical center between the hi-hats and to the center of the kick drum. Snare: вЂњ+6.25 rightвЂќ, this means it is panned very slightly to the right.
