Stereo Sound Help

Hey guys,


Can someone explain to me how the stereo in this song was produced.
I've read a lot about mixing and panning techniques but, i just can't
figure out the dynamic range in the left and right ears of the song.
I believe it was recorded using analog studio equipment like a reel, anyway appreciate any suggestions and select the link below to listen.

It sounds to me as if the acoustic guitars are done one of 2 ways:

A/. Double tracked and hard panned Left/Right in the mix, or
B/. ADT with an autopanner on them.

The A option is the most likely as the track sounds so full.
Very nicely mixed it is too.
There will almost certainly be a nice analogue compressor on them, such as one of the Universal Audio range - LA2A/1176LN or even a fairchild set to Lateral/Vertical mode.

Other's have told me:

"The equipment and dynamics have little to do with the stereo effect on this song. There's 3 acoustic guitars. 1 is dead center and low in the mix, another acoustic is panned hard left and the 3rd is hard right. All the guitars are playing almost the exact same thing, they might be the same track. The tambourine is done the same way except there's only 2 and the mic for the one to the left is further away"


"This could be simulated with a slow triggered stereo flange + and - feedback, rate adjusted on a 1/1 with the beat. On this for comparison a microverb 4 was used and their description is deep sweeping flange for a tense rythm guitar.
It also has a real slow sweeping flange that almost simulates the old method of slowing one channel down thumb on a reel to reel but I think it's digital cuz the timing is real precise and consistent on both channels."

Your first suggestion sound's about right.
Really do appreciate the reply.
