As shown here, I'm trying to fill in the gaps on my stereo mix:

That's about it, really. If I'm leaving any information out, please let me know.

EDIT: I've taken professionally mastered tracks and analyzed them and they have no gaps...
Those gaps are only indicating the lack of energy distribution in the stereo field. Nothing more. Notice that your stereo position display does show other instruments' frequencies as being hard panned on both directions. And, that your mix also contains lots of anti-phase information. In short, there is nothing wrong with those "gaps" if the mix sounds like it has a good stereo image. Keep also in mind that what you are showing in that picture is just slice of time and things may change quickly. If you need to separate some instruments a bit more in the mix, for example electric guitars, now you know where to pan them.

Regards,
