The output of the track through panning is stereo only if track output position is placed in the front center (which is the default location).

More important: during a concert I have to switch my input for processing from live to disk/sample, because I have to bridge something (the time the performer needs to switch from one instrument to the other, etc.)
It is clear to me how I would do this in a sound: i'd use a crossfade module, also for the direct signals in the mix, so that I can control this in realtime simply by pressing a button or toggle, specifying an additional time for the transition (also adjustable in the VCS).
But it is not clear to me how you can do this, in this reduced and simple manner, in the timeline? Is it possible in the same way?

And if you use the timeline for live improvisation, can you still record what you do using the 'record to disk' option? Or would that require another solution?
Thanks,
Flo

For the crossfade, you could have the live portion on on track and the disk portion on another track. Use the FadeInOut time functions for each of the Sounds to implement the crossfade. You could use a WaitUntil on yet another track to give you (or the performer) control on when to begin the crossfade. (You could control the duration of the transition live by adjusting the BPM global control, although this will change the timing of all controllers automated in the timeline.)

Yes, you can record the timeline even when it is being used "live". (The recording thermometer feedback might not be correct, but it will record until the time cursor hits the end of the timeline.)
