I had an following issue: I had input channels 3 & 4 previously assigned for certain instruments with specific gain setups and I happened to choose to reuse these channels 3 and 4 as linked stereo pair. I hadn’t done anything else but set gains to those channels, so I simply remapped these mono channels as stereo to be used as laptop source. After throwing some audio signal from laptop I noticed that L/R levels didn’t match. Initially I was suspecting something from audio source being mismatched (maybe pad pushed in for one channel in DI or audio being pre-panned within laptop). It took me a while to recognize that this was due to linked stereo channels having different gain-levels. I think (but not 100% sure) that I tried changing the gain-level of linked stereo channel, and if I did then must say that the gain levels didn’t rematch to unison.
This behaviour may be a feature, but it doesn’t feel natural to my instinct, as there apparently is no way (?) to either see or configure the level of linked stereo L/R channels when you are processing stereo channel. I had to switch channels back to mono in order to see the problem and match the gains again.
Does this pattern exist on purpose, or is it a bug? If it’s a feature then which channel specific settings are following the original mono settings? EQ? Compressor? Something else / everything?
