--Interesting but confusing thread.  Chuck, that's a novel approach I've never heard of before, to use sends to hook up a track to a bus.  Once that became clear that you work this way, your earlier advice on the thread finally made sense - though I'm still not sure what you meant by hard pan L and R on a bus when there's only one pan control on a bus.  Stereo signals are indeed hard L and R in order to have the full pan available, but that's hardwired into stereo buses.

It seems more complicated, using a send this way, since you're needing to move two pan controls instead of one.  Having a track sent directly to a bus is of course the standard practice, chosen through the menu at the bottom of a channel strip.  That frees up all your sends for applying different amounts of FX which are in the FX bins of dedicated buses.

i was wrong randy..i was only trying to help and this is the way i do it..so i guess i learned something new.
i was talking about panning your tracks hard right/hard left so they come out in sterio in a sterio bus.
in stereo.my bad.

Hiya, Chuck - Oh, not sure you were "wrong," Chuck - you just described the method you've been using.  You'll probably find it more straight-forward to do it in the usual way you heard about on this thread.  - A note though, from your new post here - tracks are stereo even when they're not hard L and R - they can be anywhere in the stereo field - all determined by the pan knob on a mono track going into a stereo bus.  It's the stereo bus which is hardwired to be hard L and R so that the entire range is available for tracks being sent to it.

thanks guys..i learned something here.i guess the way ive been doing it is kinda defeating the purpose.although ive had great results.but ill try this way.sounds great.
i was trying to help the op get a problem solved and i guess i wasnt helping him much..but it was still no reason for this one person on this thread to go off on me..telling me i post to much..and im giving wrong information all the time..or im questioning people cause i think they have a pirated version..im only trying to help here..and i think that person that came in here not helping anyone at all should have kept his nose out of it..or maybe try'd explaining it like you guys did..
he wouldnt dare tell others there post count is 80 percent of the posts in here..but hes got no problem telling me that..i dont need that.
