i was asking myself while i'm mixing how other people would set the pan. what about you guys, how did you create your mix for a nice wall of guitars and a lot of rock n roll.
my settings are:

sometimes I don't pan the guitars 100,80,80,100 but 100,100,100,100 or 100,75,75,100 for a "wider" sound.

I've gotta disagree with that LCR business, namely for trading solos; when one guitar is playing, then ends with a held note while the other comes in, things get too crowded with them in the center, and I do NOT want a solo hard-panned, so L30/R30 or in that ballpark is the only solution, and one that sounds great to me. One thing I'm curious about is how you guys record/pan vocals, especially backing vox...

solos and tom fills are the exception with LCR. They can break the rules because they aren't constant throughout the song.
when I track vocals, its lead center, double center, Background vocals two takes stereo. The reverb is mono>stereo and panned hard LR.

Is there an online-source where he says that he uses that method? Not bashing your statement but I've been looking for interviews with him quite a few times and couldn't really find anything valuable..
Also is the leads/toms at 45 part of his panning method or does he strictly go by LCR?

¯\(°_o)/¯ How do Lydian?
OH = 85-100 LR
Hats = 10 L
Snare = 5 L
Kick = C
Tom 1 = 30 L
Tom 2 = C
Floor = 60 R
Ride = 50 R
Rhythm Guitars = 100/80 LR for Quadtrack / 85 LR for Dual
Bass = 5 L
Solo Guitars = 15 - 35 L or R depending on the sound I want
Misc Guitars = 20 - 50 L or R
Keys = usually 100 LR for synth/pad sounds ... if orchestral I'll build Left to Right something similar to an actual orchestra (Left to Right Violins, Violas, Cellos, Bass, Timpani to R, wind sections the same as strings)
Vocals = Center unless there are more than 3 backing tracks of harmonies/melodies etc ... then main vox centered with other vox in a 5-10 spread Left to Right

I'm pretty sure that's an interview where many comments were taken out of context. I read somewhere that half the stuff he said was joking but they made it look like he was serious.
