I by accident found out how easy it is to create all sorts of different stereo fields, just by using different EQ settings on the left and right channel.
But is this a common technique?

Are you doing this on the master or individual channel?
have you checked for mono compatibility? |

Just individual channels.
But what do you mean with mono compatibility? |

Some desks or sound cards will have a mono sum button so you can check to see what gets lost when your track is played back in mono.
Some sound systems are in mono. |

for exercise maybe try make a simple and short song entirely in mono.. say like kick, bass, lead, pad, clap, hat - just really simple and stupid
then once the track tells a little story open one instrument into stereo
move it all around the stereo field throughout the duration of the track.. apply different effect and eq to each L&R channel.. different modulations.. delays whatever
then open another track into stereo and move it all around into the stereo field just not in any of the places the first tracks
and just see how phenomenal you can get your short simple stupid track to sound

I like this approach.
I like to EQ in mono through one speaker before touching the pan. Once you try it you won't want to go back  |

This is during mix-down.
Think of EQ as the dimension top to bottom. Panning side to side. If you pan first then it is easier to get separation of you instruments but harder then to EQ them. If you EQ first through one speaker your mind will be forced to get everything sitting in its own vertical place. Then go back to stereo and work on panning. Your mix will be clearer for it. |

Cool man. When you say balance I think of levels of the tracks. That's what I do first. set up a rough balance then EQ as I mentioned. |
