Pads, Percussion, and FX are the only things in the mix that I will record in stereo. Everything else is mono and placed in the stereo field. If too many tracks are in stereo, the mix will sound overloaded and too cluttered, and will also mess with your pan placement. Less is more! I have heard many of my tracks in clubs, and played my tracks in clubs >(shitty and quality clubs), and have heard no problems yet! If the drums and bass are rocking and droppin, everything else is the just the cherry on top.
