the source tracks are mono, and the panning is in the mixer, it just takes a mental shift to adjust to the workflow. even on the OP1f, shift+drop demo i think there’s a noticeable change in level once all tracks were mixed and dropped onto a new track that had its own mixer level set.
on the OG1 the 16bit could make for noisy shift+drops, but when did that ever stop anyone. fingers crossed they consider bringing it to the unit as a destructive operation.
