hello all,
here is a question about making a stereo signal in an orc.
most of you seem to like doing something like this:

outs  asig*ix, asig*(1-ix)    ; if ix = 1 then left channel only, if ix
= 0 then right

on p318 of dodge v2, he recommends doing a similar operation

outs asig*sqrt(ix), asig*sqrt(1-ix)

is one better than the other?  if ix = .5, then the signal will be
between channels.  in the first case, the signal will be at half
intensity, in the second, the signal will be multiplied by .707, which
is greater than .5.  who has the better method, dodge or the rest of
you?  i have been using the former method myself, but maybe dodge is
better?

thanks
pete

I use the sqrt version almost always.
