Don't apologize - there's yet another meaning of the word pan - "7. Informal. Severe criticism, especially a negative review: gave the film a pan. " -

This is what was just done to you, by people who apparently forgot this IS the freakin' NEWBIE forum...

Hey guise, gotcha :=)

Oh, BTW, Pan is short for Panorama - think of it sorta like the Balance pot on your stereo, only you get one for each track in a multi-track recording situation... Steve
