Subject:Re: Submixers stereo-mono

With all due respect, Dan, you're wrong. A stereo mixer may have left
and right outputs, but each input channel on a mixer is
neither "left" nor "right". The pan control adjusts how much of that
input signal is directed to the left and right outputs (if we ignore
the possibility of subgroups). When the pan control is centered, an
equal amount of signal is directed to the left and right outputs.

So if you plug your sine wave into input channel 1 and set the pan
control to center, the amount of that sine wave coming out of each
output will be equal.

Again, there's no need to merge the signals after the mixer. By
panning everything to center, you've set up a two-output mono mix.
Send one output to the mains, other to your onstage monitor system,
and use the left and right master controls to adjust the total signal
going to each.
