[RWP] changing the way ReaAccess reports track panning

[indigo]

Hi Patrick,
When you get pan reading as 0 center to 90db  left or right, how exactly 
does it help to position instruments; as compared to 0 center to 100 
percent left or right?
Does an instrument shift its position left or right according to how 
loud you set it, or is it still in the same place in the stereo image; 
independent of its volume
Thanks,
Indigo L
