Well guys, maybe Brynn does know what a producer does in the recording world and was just pointing out that, that is what he intends to be, and on top of that he was just asking a question regarding to getting some beats into his recorder. Cause even though a producer does walk the band through the sessions and make suggestions to the mix, i think that getting beats into a recorder could fall under the job of the Producer sometimes lol. Anyways brynn I would just suggest that you just do what Chris told you to do, the panning and stereo idea.
Good Luck
