Honestly dude, I use it ALL the time. Maybe I'm just not using the correct phrasing. Usually I come up with good results but sometimes I just can't find exactly what I'm looking for. For instance, I typed into the custom sneap search function thing "mixing backing guitars" . Here were the results.

First 5 pages have nothing related to what I'm looking for. And I really hate this mentality where no one is allowed to bump an old thread, and god forbid you create a thread someone might have talked about in 2007. Things change, everyone gets better and uses newer, better techniques, etc and making a new thread might give everyone a new view or idea on something. If you can point me to a thread talking about this EXACT topic, as far as panning and mixing backing guitars exclusively, I will eat my words.
Try searching "Backing guitars" or "mixing backing guitars" now... what is right at the top? This thread. Which I think would be helpful for someone in the future who is looking for this topic.
Until they open it and find the canned "use the search function" response.
Same to you, no offense, but I've just seen this reply , not just on my threads, but on other threads I've
found through the search function and it's definitely getting on my nerves. Not everyone is lazy, it's just that the search function doesn't
always work great 100% of the time, etc
