MOTM

Based upon previous experience, I always record composite patches to
separate channels, leaving mixdown for a later time.  I once made the
mistake of mixing two simultaneous patches/tracks performed live on
another modular.  I had this great dynamic panning effect going on in
one sound.  Unfortunately, due to the monitoring situation with stereo
speakers too distant, I didn't notice that this effect was sometimes too
overt, sounding like dropouts.  Once I had recorded the two patches
together, it became virtually impossible to fix. If the two patches had
been recorded separately, fixing the too wide stereo separation would
have been simple.
