Fun With Panning

One fine day this summer, I wanted to fool with remixing, so I took a song I had recently recorded, "End Of Our Youth", and started doing some hard panning of the various tracks in the recording from right to left speaker and back again.  I liked the results, but agree with those who think that hard panning is mainly just losing half the acoustic energy of the recording.  The final result ended up sounding a bit like Nine Inch Nails trying to play dub reggae or something, which was a bit surprising.  I still prefer the original mix myself.  I hope that you enjoy the experiment below; it probably won't be repeated, but it was fun:
