Well, that depends only on how your mixer works, but yes - it should be.
Don't forget that when you "hear" a 2v signal, it doesn't sound twice as
loud as a 1v signal. The *voltage* of the output signal is doubled, the
perceived *volume* the volume will be ahh, um, it'll be ahh....
....some sort of logarithmic amount bigger - but not doubled :)
This seemed like voodo to me for a while as well - but now I often use
the cv mixer on my modular as a voltage doubler, just plug the same
source into two input channels...
If yer average audio mixer does something different please clue me in -
I've never looked at the schems for my Mackie (even though they're
sitting in a file cabnet at home) but I think all those busses are just
summing opamps.
