HI Lydiot,
Thanks for writing back. You know, it’s been so long since I"ve used Nuendo, I totally forgot about the stereo panner options. Given that the dual panner is essentially the same as moving the mono tracks around, then it answers my question that moving mono track panners is just as acceptable.
However, with the stereo panner, a group track is no longer required and all the routing, etc. Will save me some time on the rest of the project! Thank you sir.
