How much does it cost to pan a guitar track?
You generally don’t pan all the way to each side (“hard left/right panning”) because it sounds unnatural (especially on headphones), but up to 80% should work. If you’re using more than two tracks, it would be best not to pan them the same amount. I generally track four times, panned 80% and 60%.
