You could also put a lot of attack on the volume of each chop, cancels a lot of drums as well as they sit at the beginning of each chop, also gives you some feel of sidechain and adds a lot of movement.

I’ve heard this from many pros, to always sample in Mono… you can always pan the sample or spread the stereo field later on. Plus it saves on space! I know your speaking more about those “old Beatles type recordings” where the vocals may only play through on the left and instruments hard right, etc… which I haven’t honestly run into much lately, but, that’s definitely smart thinking! The worst thing I’ve dealt with on several occasions is when chopping up a stereo sample that’s got a weird ping pong type effect baked into it. Then when I go to play back my chops it’s bouncing all over the damn place! 😂 That shit drives me totally freaking crazy every time man! 🤬

I highly recommend Glen Cook's The Black Company. That book ended up nothing like what I expected. People said military dark fantasy that inspired game of thrones and the first law, and what I got instead was something more between Berserk and Hellraiser in a world that reminded me of a grittier Ivalice from Final Fantasy Tactics. Plus that book *moved*. Never a dull moment. But I'm not the best judge of literature, since I am an enjoyer of Warhammer novels, 40k and otherwise.

I use this technique often. Here's a question for you: when hard panned all the way, it grabs that audio and sticks it in the middle. Does that mean it is only using one voice of polyphony at this point? Or is it still using two...even though we can't hear both sides?

I’d like to think with it then being mono just 1 but it’s non-destructive so I wouldn’t be surprised if it stays the same. Can’t confirm that one sorry

Or if you wanna read a cycle that is actually finished, dig into "The realm of the elderlings," if you don't trust me, trust George (the writer not the sound engineer of the same name nimus the pirate grunts) since he's also an avid Robin Hobb fan. And at about 12.500 pages (give or take a few 100), I read it 4 times in a row. It contains 5 trilogies, with one being composed off 4 books. It treats its sentient dragons with some respect and not as a disposable airforce. For this endeavor, I advise a lightweight e-reader. Otherwise, cramped digits will hamper finger drumming. And a meter of books will clog your bookcase.

The hard pan you hear on old records is the result of a technical limitation of the gear of this era. The best multitrack recorders and mixers could only record on 3 positions: center, left and right. There is no such thing as true stereo at that time. It cale a little bit later, think Bob Marley era, where it was possible to record on… 4 tracks!!!
