Thank you -- I had noticed that Hidden attribute but when I have checked that in other programs the text was actually hidden (i.e. invisible) onscreen, so I hadn't checked into it in Fin2004. Thank you for pointing it out to me -- I take back all my bad thoughts! And wish they had simply left

Hi David: Thanks for the prompt response. Your suggestion and Harold Owen's suggestions did put me on the right track. Many thanks! One more question: How do I use PAN to set some instruments to the left / right speakers to be able to better differentiate between the instruments? (Search on Hel

You use the expression tool and define expressions as non-printing (for versions before 2004 -- for 2004 you have to define empty expressions apparently), calling them something like full-left, part-left, center, part-right, full-right (and however many gradations in between that you want.) 0

Brad, Thanks for the info. I haven't got 2k4 yet, because I use it on mac. I suppose that a program could support 16-bit resolution on any controller, but I have never before heard of anyone implementing it for pan data. Very interesting. Tim On Sunday, October 26, 2003, at 09:58 AM, Brad
