Mono inputs are sent to both L&R paths of stereo zones, would be great if we had a panning.

Something like this:

I fully agree and expanded on this theme here:

Essentially, I end up having to keep all sources and zones mono. This greatly increases the UI workload and the chances I forgot to copy something over to another side of a stereo pair (configured as mono channels because I have to for above reasons). Thanks

Good mockup BTW!

+1 Fully agree. Panning control for mono sources to strereo zones and Stereo input balance controls are needed. The current work arounds like using two same input mono channels to feed a stereo zone are just aweful!

This has been a constant irritation, I have a stereo recorder that that I want to to sometimes capture a stereo L/R event and sometimes separately capture a room mic and Handheld, for mixing in post. If I could pan audio it would be a game changer.

Currently I just assign the Handheld in i/o every time and its starting to be a weekly occurrence. I do know I could use a Preset for this, but it would break other parts of my system.
