Hi Guys, thanks so much and sorry for the delay to reply. I was not getting notifications from the forum.
For me, the Dual Panner is much better, I like the separate control of each input signal as opposed to “fighting” to find the right position with the combined panner. And it´s always kind of hard to get only one of the sides, when you restrict the opening to anything less than 100% you always take one side out of place when you want to adjust the other… it’s just me, though, I just don’t see the reason to remove that option from Cubase. It was very good in my point of view.
The Mix 6to2 option is awesome, I had never explored that one and will def give it a shot!
Thank you!
