Questiion about mixing?

hey guys I watched a video tutorial by shock:force who are really big in hard trance atm and what they do with there super saw leads to give them a really wide sound are duplicate the same synth 3 times and pan 2 of them about 20L and 20R and leave the other one in the middle.



The question I have is if for example with something like hi hats if I pan them say 5L willl they still have there own room apart from eqing aside?





Also wondering how at the mixdown stage when I have seen phil use the utility how you would go about using the utility on the panned sounds



Thanks for any help
