Love the way you cover important points that others don't - like the differences between Montage M and Modx M.

Another key thing you mention that others don't is that you can use BOTH the A/D input jacks for different things like a mic and a guitar.

You need to adjust/lower the guitar level feed to better match the mic you are using because the A/D gain affects both.

And rather than use 'L + R Mono' mode (as you mention @4:50 in the video) there are benefits to using 'Stereo' mode.

When you use 'Stereo' mode then using PAN can affect the position of a mic and guitar separately. So Hard Left (L63) will be only mic (assuming it uses the L A/D jack) and Hard Right (R63) will be only guitar.

If you use 'L + R Mono' the mic and guitar are already combined as one mono signal so pan moves them both together and you won't get the separation.

Thank you for you comment and kind words, nice tips for the stereo using and pan, for my part i prefer managing the electric guitar output level to adjust the balance if i need to use it.
