Wow, good on you then - I am impressed you have had a commercial release without knowing the fundamentals of panning.

Really though, if your course is teaching you this in the second year(!) then I think you want to be doing more extra curricular activities or homework, as the course really should have taught you this in the opening stages.

What I mean is, if you've ever mic'd a drum kit (and as you did sound recording in the first year so you should have) then you HAVE to pan those to avoid clashing frequencies. The same goes for more than one instrument, whether it be in the analog or digital domain.

Really panning is such a basic task in the studio that I don't understand why they have taken this long to show you it.

I'm not saying this to dishearten you about your course or abilities or anything like that, just that if you want to be serious about production and engineering (and obviously you are otherwise you wouldn't be going to Uni for it), you should demand more from your course or do a load of extra learning yourself outside of it (on here!)
yeh we covered micing up drum kits in the first year, and yeh we did pan them to avoid clashing, and now come to think of it i dont know i why i didnt think to do this when mixing my tracks. i really am a dumb ass i guess lol, doh !! ah well i know now lol

It is one thing to pan. It is another thing to pan well.
