I was reading some shit and I found this. I know that this is not something new, I also know that iZotope Ozone 4 have this feature. What I want to know is what you think about this technique? Do you achieve good results? What are the real advantages of this? Do you achieve significant results with this? Just tell me your thoughts about it.
 
I think it's a good thing to get into. It gives you more freedom to make changes to specific things, like a vocal panned only in the center without effecting something like guitars that are panned hard left and right.
 
Tried that on a project on the purpose of fixing a bad mix, but the client panned the most weirdly EVER. The only thing at the sides was the toms and everything else was at the center. Vocals, kick, bass, guitar, horns, cymbals...you name it. SO you know i didnt fix anything at all. But it might be useful, specially for controlling the low end to get some extra headroom...
