I guess I'd always assumed that stereo VI tracks were like regular stereo audio tracks, and lacked pan controls, but I tried hard-panning RealStrat with the DP's pan knob and sure enough, it works like a charm. I assume this has been a feature since DP 4 or so? Good thing it wasn't a snake, I'd be dead right now.
Yeah... I almost brought this up when you were talking about that last week, but I thought maybe you were taking issue with the way DP handles the panning of VIs versus a specific mono summing that could (or should) be handled in the VI.
But that's how I pan RealGuitar2... sometimes hard left or hard right in the V-Rack (if I am going for a Beatley sort of thing).

Up until now, I've been doing my hard panning for bouncing to mono within whatever VI I'm recording, like PLAY's MOR guitars or Kontakt 3, so it was a feature I never even checked out, I just assumed Instrument tracks were stereo only and lacked the ability to be panned by channel strip controls. It'll certain make, say, recording an instance of RealGuitar 2L within a full VI mix a lot easier!
