Making your sound really fat and wide is what all engineers want to accomplish in their mixes. A rule of thumb is related to the number of instruments and or parts in a recording. If you have limited instruments you have to make each one sound bigger. If there are a lot of instruments then placement determines sound quality. Using a three dimensional model in mixes helps the sound quality. Imagine a stage with certain instruments on different areas. Some are front and some are back. Some are also on the side. When you hear these instruments together on the stage the sound is wide and fat. Using the "stage" model when mixing will help get you that sound that seems to be wider and fatter than your stereo. Now thats a good mix. Hope to see you in the studio.
