The third (that I know of) seems to separate the channels and allow them to be moved independently. As a corollary to that, stereo widening (and narrowing) is another option. With those choices, I tend to leave stereo tracks stereo. There is often a reason why they are stereo beyond simply how they were recorded/mixed. Some effects even on solo instruments are stereo themselves and it seems best to try to preserve that.


Thanks for mentioning the above.

I often use Logic Pro’s Direction Mixer that offers a lot of versatility other than just a simple shift. I find it helpful when getting rhythm tracks to cooperate with one another.

I’m far from a keys guy but it’s hard for me to, in my mixes, envision a mono Grand Steinway smile
