When using Direct Recording mode, during the recording of all four tracks simultaneously, is it possbile to leave all four channels panned in the center, and only pan them separately within the L/R stereo mix during Mix Down? Or will the tracks already have bled together since they were not panned apart in the stereo field during capture?
The example in the manual... ... "Even when using the direct recording capability, a channel still goes to the Left/Right mix. If you record another track with the stereo left or right mix at the same time, you must check your PAN settings. For example, you can record vocal directly onto track 3, and record multiple instruments on track 1 via the stereo left bus at the same time. But channel 3's PAN control must be turned hard right, otherwise you'll wind up with vocals "bleeding through" onto track 1's instruments." ... ...I interpret this as tracks 1, 2 and 4 all being panned hard L and track 3 needing to be panned hard R to keep it from being partially captured in the L stereo field.
BUT what if all four tracks remain panned center during recording, can they still be panned as desired during Mix Down? ELI5?
