Do you have any preferences or tips for panning a horn section? I have four tracks: trumpet, flugelhorn, tenor sax and baritone sax. It’s a straight ahead rock and roll record.
I don’t know if there’s any convention for this. I’d put the bari in the middle in case it ever goes to vinyl.

I've never know a convention for this. I do what sounds 'right" in the track. Have fun!

Ditto. Find a space for them and let them rip. Could be hard panned on top of each other. Or slight spread on one side or spread apart the whole thing. Guessing tighter together will work better for a rock record though

Guessing tighter together will work better for a rock record though IMO a horn section in a typical rock or soul record should be treated as a single instrument and panned together, just like the section would be placed onstage.
Usually, anyway, unless some sort of special effect is desired.

Yeah man for sure! Be tune dependant and also how the horns are orchestrated. |

Thanks! We’ll see where the mix takes me. I’m tempted of going all Al Schmitt and do it without EQ...

Go for it! Just keep in mind he has one if the best microphone collections in the world at his fingers. Which is a big part of why he can do that. Morten Lindberg does the same though with just really good mics and placement.
Either way if you have the time you should be able to get stellar sounds out of anything.
